Bahrain - McLaren

But still they may need to hire one or two young talents to get the same level of performance in the coming years because guys like Colbrelli/Caruso/Bilbao will probably start declining.

Colbrelli and Bilbao are 31 not 35. I don't see why they can't keep that level for another 3 years.

Any interviews where they talk about who is topdog in the team qua management and sportive leadership?

Given Aldag is gone I wonder if they'll be able to keep it up.

Have Mohoric signed a new contract yet? He is still listed without a team for 2022 at Procyclingstats.

PCS is not always the best resource, Landa and Bilbao are listed without contract wehn they have both re-signed until 2023 with the team

No, he hasn't. The negotiations are still ongoing, but he said in a recent interview he'd like to stay with the team.

Okay, thaks. He would also been a great addition to teams aiming mostly for the classics. Teams like DSM and Trek should definitely chase him!

Their line-up for the Ruta del Sol has been revealed.

Landa, Bilbao, Caruso, Mäder, Poels, Teuns, Sánchez.

That must be one of the most OP line-ups for a .Pro race ever. Five guys with a top 6 in a GT during the past 18 months.

A bit of a pity they didn't switch Haig with Sánchez.

Good teamwork today.
Mohorič finished it off after being kept in the right place throughout the course.

Their TdF selection of course is still a side show compared to everything the team had to go through with the death of Gino.

I guess they decided to bring Haig along to have support there for Landa and Bilbao. I'm surprised they decided to bring a sprint duo of Bauhaus-Arndt as Bauhaus is not a top 10 sprinter. But hehas one here and there + some good WT results so probably like most teams they are not getting all-in in one category but go all over the place with Sprint, Stage hunting (Mohoric, Wright, Bilbao?) and GC (landa, Bilbao?)

Haig as already 53 race days. I don't think it's a good idea for him to go to the Tour despite being 5th at Dauphine. I hope he doesn't burn out.

Bringing Haig seems to be a reflex to him being strong at the Dauphine but how often do riders go for GC at the Giro, ride Dauphine and have a strong TDF. I can't remember anybody doing that previously. Maybe he replaced Mader as well but surely there was another option. Also that will mean he won't get the chance to get a bad luck free run at GC this season just like last year and arguably the year before that as well.
