Another Italian is joining Lidl Trek: Matteo Sobrero has signed a three-year contract with the US team. Sobrero arrives at Lidl-Trek after six seasons in the WorldTour, during which he achieved several significant victories: the final time trial of the 2022 Giro d'Italia, the Italian Time Trial Championship, and a stage win at the Tour of Austria. The Piedmontese rider performs very well in week-long stage races and is a reliable teammate in challenging classics. His versatility and altruistic racing style make him a perfect addition to the Lidl-Trek environment.

"I can't wait to join Lidl-Trek because from the outside it really seems like there's a great atmosphere among the riders - said Sobrero. Everyone is fully committed to the team spirit, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm really excited to race alongside many strong Italian riders. Lidl-Trek is one of the best teams, and for the next three years, I can't wait to continue growing, aiming for personal results and helping our leaders achieve great victories".

"Matteo is a complete rider who brings great value to our structure" - said Luca Guercilena, General Manager of Lidl-Trek. He has a fantastic engine and can give his best on many terrains, from time trials to stage races, up to hilly classics. Beyond his physical qualities, Matteo also has the right mentality: focused on teamwork, analytical, and ambitious. We believe he can continue to grow and reach a very high level in our environment. We are excited to welcome him on board".
