The 2020 Giro d'Italia winner is leaving Ineos Grenadiers to sign with Lidl-Trek for two years. Before his time at Sky and later Ineos, Geoghegan Hart rode for Hagens Berman Axeon before switching to Sky in 2016. Now a new chapter begins for the 28-year-old, whose team-mates in the future will include top riders such as Mads Pedersen (2019 Road World Champion).
Geoghegan Hart wants to fight his way back
After his serious crash at the Giro d'Italia this year, in which he suffered a broken hip, Geoghegan Hart wants to get back to his old level before attacking again in the grand tours. "Personally, I see myself as a Grand Tour rider, but I'm really hungry to fight for victories in every race I enter during the season," the Briton is quoted as saying on the Lidl-Trek website.
"Tao Geoghegan Hart's dedication and perseverance epitomise the spirit of Lidl-Trek. His journey is a testament to the power of determination and we are delighted to welcome him to our team." Luca Guercilena, Manager of Lidl-Trek.

At the end of May 2023, Hart's new team announced that it had entered into a new partnership with Lidl. The previous sponsor and partner Segafredo Zanetti, who gave the team its name at the time, was replaced. The Lidl-Trek team celebrated its debut in the new jerseys at the 2023 Tour de France.
