Enrico Gasparotto is returning... to his roots: starting next year, he will be the Sports Director of Team Bahrain Victorious. Gasparotto spent two seasons with Bahrain Victorious as a rider during the team's formative years in 2017 and 2018, bringing experience and leadership to the squad from its very beginnings.

After retiring from professional cycling in 2020, he transitioned to sports management and, more recently, served as Sports Director at Red Bull BORA Hansgrohe, where he played a key role in guiding some of the world's top cyclists.

Now Gasparotto returns to Bahrain Victorious with renewed passion and a wealth of experiences to share. "I was part of the team from its foundation and we visited the Kingdom of Bahrain, where we experienced something unique and unforgettable. I have fond memories and I'm excited to return in a new role. I'm grateful for this opportunity and for the trust of General Manager Milan Eržen. The team has come a long way since I was racing, and there are many new faces, which will make this next adventure even more interesting. I'm ready for this new chapter and hope to bring my enthusiasm and passion to help the riders and the team achieve their goals".

General Manager Milan Eržen added: "I've always had an excellent relationship with Gaspa, and we're delighted to bring him back to the team. He has been part of our history from the beginning, and his knowledge, energy, and experience will be valuable in helping our athletes achieve great milestones in the coming seasons".
