Bauhaus leads Bahrain charge on Limburg

Phil Bauhaus leads Bahrain Victorious at the Ronde van Limburg today, as the team targets a sprint finish in the 178km one-day race from Hasselt to Tongeren-Borgloon. He is supported by Alberto Bruttomesso and Alessandro Borgo, while a young Development Team group also steps up to gain experience at WorldTour level.

Among them, Seth Dunwoody arrives in strong form after finishing second at Paris– Roubaix Espoirs. Meanwhile, Kasper Borremans and Mikita Babovich are expected to look for breakaway opportunities, with Leonardo Consolidani focusing on positioning Bauhaus for the finale.

The 178km route presents a varied challenge, combining climbs, cobbles and exposed sections across Limburg. Key difficulties include the Kolmontberg and Zammelenberg, which are expected to shape the decisive phases of the race. Speaking ahead of the start, sports director Enrico Gasparotto said the team is aiming to balance development opportunities for its younger riders with a strong sprint result for Bauhaus.
