Santiago Buitrago, the 25-year-old Colombian cyclist, has been appointed team leader for Bahrain Victorious at the 2025 Tour de France despite not completing the Critérium du Dauphiné. After placing tenth in his debut Tour last year, Buitrago has high expectations this season, having trained intensively since the previous year's end. His teammate, Lenny Martinez, the promising 21-year-old French cyclist, will support him, adding a motivational element to the team. Both riders anticipate surprises in the early stages of the race, which have a distinctive profile compared to the previous year.
"We start this 2025 Tour with lots of hopes, actually, to be honest, expectations. I've been training for this year's Tour since the end in Nice last year."
"Everything has been going well this season - we've worked hard on every aspect, and we've had some good results in the team, which has given me a lot of confidence for the three weeks ahead."
