Gino Mäder (born 4 January 1997)[3] is a Swiss road and track cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Bahrain Victorious.[4][5]

Career[]

Before turning professional on the road, Mäder was a high level track cyclist, having competed at the 2016 UEC European Track Championships in the team pursuit event.[6] He turned fully professional in 2019, with UCI WorldTeam Team Dimension Data.[7] In October 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Vuelta a España.[8]

On stage 7 of the 2021 Paris–Nice, Mäder was part of the breakaway, and nearly won the stage. However, in the final 50 meters, he was caught and outsprinted by Primož Roglič. He was given the combativity award for the day.[9]

Mäder performed well in the 2021 Vuelta a España and grew stronger as the race progressed, something riders must do to achieve a high finish in the grand tours of cycling. Team Bahrain Victorious won the team classification and had two riders finish in the Top 5 with Jack Haig making the podium and Mäder finishing 5th. Late in the race he stole the jersey in the Young Rider Classification away from defending Giro champ Egan Bernal and held it for the remainder of the race.
