Ten bikes were stolen overnight from a team truck of the Bahrain Merida team. The truck was parked at the team hotel near Limburg where the team is staying during the first Hammer Series Sportzone Limburg race.
Nine Time Trial bikes and one road bike were stolen from the team truck some time during last night, according to the statement from the team. They have also stated that despite the robbery, they will still be able to line up at the start of the Hammer Series tomorrow.
“Rider’s morale and motivation is high, although we will probably have to use road bikes for the Time Trial on Sunday,” the team announced in the statement.
The details of the stolen bikes are as follows:
9 x Merida Warm TT complete bike with Fulcrum Disc wheel speed 360T and Dura ace Di2 Groupset including SRM Power meter system
1 Merida Reacto complete road bike with Dura Ace Di2 Groupset including SRM Power meter system
