UCI WorldTeam

Lidl-Trek

The American Lidl-Trek squad emerged from the ashes of the RadioShack and Leopard squads with Trek Factory Racing stepping up as the title sponsor at the start of the 2014 season.

The team then became Trek-Segafredo in 2016, before changing to Lidl-Trek during the 2023 season.

In the past Fabian Cancellara won three Monuments for the team before retiring in 2016. Cancellara’s Classics-winning legacy remains ingrained within the team, however, and with the likes of Jasper Stuyven, Mads Pedersen and Edward Theuns on their roster, they’ve quickly become a force to be reckoned with in one-day races and a big rival of the cobble-crushing kings, Quick-Step.

Their goals don’t lie solely in the spring though, with climbers like Bauke Mollema, Giulio Ciccone, Kenny Elissonde and Juan Pedro López, the team are also a constant threat in the Grand Tours, particularly when it comes to hunting stage wins from breakaways. For 2023 the team have added three promising young talents to their roster, Eritrean Natnael Tesfatsion, Czech Mathias Vacek, and Belgian Thibau Nys. The latter is the son of the cyclocross legend Sven Nys and perhaps the team’s next great hope for the Spring Classics.
