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

## Career

Arndt rode for [LKT Team Brandenburg](/source/LKT_Team_Brandenburg) between 2010 and 2012, before joining the [Argos–Shimano](/source/Team_Picnic%E2%80%93PostNL_(men's_team)) team for the 2013 season. He achieved his first professional victory at the 2013 [Arctic Race of Norway](/source/Arctic_Race_of_Norway), winning the third stage,[5] en route to finishing third overall behind [Thor Hushovd](/source/Thor_Hushovd) and [Kenny van Hummel](/source/Kenny_van_Hummel). Arndt also won the young riders classification at the event, as the best-placed rider under the age of 25. The following year, he took his first win at the [UCI World Tour](/source/UCI_World_Tour) level, winning stage three of the [Critérium du Dauphiné](/source/2014_Crit%C3%A9rium_du_Dauphin%C3%A9) in a sprint finish.[6] In 2016, Arndt won the final stage of the [Giro d'Italia](/source/2016_Giro_d'Italia), his first [Grand Tour](/source/Grand_Tour_(cycling)) stage win.

In early 2017, he won the [Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race](/source/2017_Cadel_Evans_Great_Ocean_Road_Race), a one-day race on the World Tour.[7] In June of the same year, he was named in the startlist for the [Tour de France](/source/2017_Tour_de_France), which was his first time competing in the race.[8] He notably finished second on stage 19. His success at Grand Tours continued after a relatively uneventful 2018 season, winning stage eight of the [2019 Vuelta a España](/source/2019_Vuelta_a_Espa%C3%B1a).[9] He was part of the winning team in the [mixed relay event](/source/2021_UCI_Road_World_Championships_%E2%80%93_Mixed_team_relay) at the [2021 UCI Road World Championships](/source/2021_UCI_Road_World_Championships) in September.[10] The month prior, he also won a stage of the [Tour de Pologne](/source/2021_Tour_de_Pologne).[11]

After ten years with Argos–Shimano and its subsequent iterations, Arndt signed a two-year deal in August 2022 with [Team Bahrain Victorious](/source/Team_Bahrain_Victorious), starting from the 2023 season.[12]
