What’s new at Lidl-Trek this year isn’t just that the team is racing under a German licence; another new addition to the squad is the young Spaniard Juan Ayuso, who left UAE Team Emirates following some friction with team captain Tadej Pogačar. This brings a whole new dynamic to Team Lidl-Trek, as Ayuso – still only 23 years old – is considered a potential contender for the top three in a Grand Tour, having finished third and fourth in the Vuelta. For riders such as Giulio Ciccone, Mattias Skjelmose, Mads Pedersen and others, this could mean having to subordinate themselves much more to the general classification project than they have done so far. Should Ayuso fail to deliver as expected, this harbours the potential for conflicts that the team management will have to mediate.
