Bahrain Victorious have appointed Rolf Aldag as a directeur sportif for the 2021 season, just a day after the German announced he was leaving Women's WorldTour team Canyon-SRAM.

Aldag joins a DS team that includes Franco Pellizotti, Xavier Florencio, Tim Harris and Gorazd Štangelj at the Bahraini squad, which also welcomed Neil Stephens on board towards the end of the 2020 season.
