Bahrain-Merida head to Croatia for training camp
Zagreb, Croatia : Like the majority of WorldTour teams, Bahrain-Merida have decamped to the warmer parts of Europe in preparation for the 2018 season. Unlike the majority, however, the team haven’t headed to Spain but rather to the Croatian island of Hvar in the Adriatic Sea.
A little over 80km in length, the riders will be clocking up several laps of the island to get the pre-season kilometres in the legs.
The training camp is also an important two-week period for the riders to dial in their positions on their road and time trial bikes, try on new kit, and acquaint themselves with new teammates and tactics. With the full Bahrain-Merida team in attendance for the camp, the race programmes for the year are likely to be finalised.
The training camp has been coordinated by sports director Vladimir Miholjević, with the training and team activities split between a number of the Sunčani Hvar Hotels on the island of Hvar. The team will hold a general press conference 14 December with team management to outline their 2018 season objectives.
