Lidl-Trek is pleased to announce that Lucinda Brand has signed a one-year contract extension, which will keep her with the Team until the 2026 season. Since joining Lidl-Trek in 2020, Brand has built an impressive road palmares, winning stage victories and general classifications at the Thüringen Ladies Tour, Tour de Suisse, and Baloise Ladies Tour, along with a one-day race victory at Dwars door het Hageland.

Alongside her road successes, Brand remains one of the most dominant figures in cyclocross. During the 2024-25 season, she achieved an extraordinary triple, winning all three major overall series: the UCI World Cup, Superprestige, and X2O Badkamers Trophy — and is currently ranked first in the UCI rankings. With her extensive experience and all-round strength, Lucinda continues to be a cornerstone of Lidl-Trek, bringing depth, leadership, and consistency to every race she participates in.

"Extending my contract with Lidl-Trek was a natural choice," Brand stated. "In the last five years, I have felt at home, and I am truly happy that our story can continue together. My role within the team has evolved, but I still feel very appreciated. We have many exciting young talents, and I am happy to share my experience with them while continuing to give my best in competitions."

"Lucinda has been an integral part of our women's program from the beginning," said Luca Guercilena, General Manager of Lidl-Trek. "Her professionalism, experience, and fighting spirit are an example for everyone in the team. We are proud to continue this journey with her and can't wait to see what she can achieve on the road and in cyclocross in the next season."
