Career

edit

Bauhaus started his elite career with UCI Continental team Team Stölting in 2013. With the team, he obtained his first two professional wins, both stages of the 2014 Volta a Portugal before stepping up to UCI WorldTeam Bora–Argon 18 in 2015. He notably won stage five of the Danmark Rundt in his second year with the team. For the 2017 season, he transferred to Team Sunweb and competed in his first Grand Tour, the Giro d'Italia.[4] He also earned his first win in a UCI World Tour event on stage five of the Critérium du Dauphiné, outsprinting Arnaud Démare.[5] The following year, he took his second World Tour victory on stage three of the Abu Dhabi Tour.[6]

After two seasons with Team Sunweb, he joined Bahrain–Merida for the 2019 season on an initial one-year contract.[7] He entered the 2019 Vuelta a España, but dropped out on stage 9.[8] In his first season with the team, he won the Coppa Bernocchi in September. In 2021, Bauhaus logged seven wins, most notably the first stage of the Tour de Pologne.[9] He took two more World Tour level stage wins in 2022 at Tirreno–Adriatico and again at the Tour de Pologne.[10]

At the beginning of the 2023 season, he won stage one of the Tour Down Under.[11] In July, he entered his first Tour de France, but withdrew from the race on stage 17, after three podiums on previous stages.[12] He was also dealt a 50 point penalty in the points classification for the obstruction of another rider.[13] He started off 2024 with a second place finish on the first stage of the Tour Down Under, before winning stage three of Tirreno–Adriatico in March.[14] In the 2024 Tour de France, his best result was a 2nd place finish on a bunch sprint during stage 16, slightly behind the winner Jasper Philipsen.[15]
