Nikias Arndt (born 18 November 1991) is a German professional track and road cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Bahrain Victorious.[4]

Career[edit]

Arndt rode for LKT Team Brandenburg between 2010 and 2012, before joining the Argos–Shimano team for the 2013 season. He achieved his first professional victory at the 2013 Arctic Race of Norway, winning the third stage,[5] en route to finishing third overall behind Thor Hushovd and Kenny van Hummel. Arndt also won the young riders classification at the event, as the best-placed rider under the age of 25. In June 2017, he was named in the startlist for the Tour de France.[6]

After ten years with Argos–Shimano and its subsequent iterations, Arndt signed a two-year deal with Team Bahrain Victorious, from the 2023 season, in August 2022.[7]
