A story of teamwork - Lidl-Trek celebrates its results Lidl-Trek has had extraordinary races at the Giro d'Italia Donne and Tour de France, showing strength, strategy and determination. Elisa's victory in the Giro d'Italia Donne 🚴♀️ Elisa Longo Borghini left no doubt about her dominance at the Giro d'Italia Donne, claiming the coveted Maglia Rosa as the general classification winner. Her journey to victory began with a commanding win in the Stage 1 time trial and she maintained her lead throughout the competition. Elisa's victory is a testament not only to her exceptional talent, but also to the tireless support of her Lidl-Trek teammates. She acknowledged their crucial role: “This win is for my teammates, for the Lidl-Trek team, the entire team, the staff, everyone that is working night and day for us,” Elisa said. “And then for my husband, because he’s always believing in me.” Notably, she became the first Italian rider to win the women's overall Giro d'Italia since 2008. Lidl-Trek’s Tour de France Journey 🚴♂️ Despite early challenges at the Tour de France, Lidl-Trek showed resilience and teamwork. Top contender, Mads Pedersen, was forced to withdraw after crashing in the final sprint of Stage 5. He showed his fighting spirit by being named the most combative rider for Stage 6, earning the golden starting number for his efforts. Unfortunately, Mads had to withdraw before the start of Stage 8. Undeterred, the team continued to push forward. Guilio Ciccone exemplified this determination in Stage 11, securing a top-5 finish. Lidl-Trek’s efforts were evident in numerous breakaways, including Jasper Stuyven’s near-stage win in Stage 9, where he was only caught with one kilometer to go. Nevertheless, this is the 25th time that Jasper has finished in the top 10 of a Tour de France stage. We are incredibly proud of Elisa and extend our heartfelt congrats to all people behind Lidl-Trek. These performances underline the strength and unity of Lidl-Trek. By working tirelessly and supporting each other, they have achieved remarkable results in the face of great challenges. ❤️ 💙 💛 #LidlInternational #LidlTrek #OnYourTeam #TeamSpirit #GiroDItaliaDonne #TourDeFrance #teamlidl Photo credits: GettyImages
