2021 Team Bahrain Victorious season
The 2021 season for Team Bahrain Victorious is the fifth season in the team's existence, all of which have been as a UCI WorldTeam. After just one year, British car manufacturer McLaren decided to withdraw from its co-title sponsorship, citing a desire to "focus on motorsport after the uncertainty caused ... by the coronavirus pandemic."[1][2] The team then took on the name of Victorious Stables, a horse racing stable also owned by Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, with the adjective serving as "a constant reminder of [the team's] goal to achieve success at the highest level both on and off the bike."[3]
