Former Moto GP star Aleix Espargaró signs for Lidl-Trek: "I will give everything I have"

Aleix Espargaró, a former MotoGP rider, is from today officially new rider of the fourth best team of 2024 in the WorldTour, Lidl-Trek. The Catalan rider is undoubtedly the big bombshell of the year because of the surprise of the cycling market;

About his role, from the German structure speaks that he will be an ambassador and that he will attend some races: "The three-time MotoGP race winner will act as an ambassador for Lidl-Trek, joining the team at some of the most prestigious events on the calendar while promoting the sport of cycling to a wide audience."

Thus, Espargaró will be part of the squad as an ambassador and will ride some races. According to reports from AS and other media, he could ride the Vuelta a Burgos in August. It should be remembered that he is not leaving the world of motorcycles, as he will continue to be a Honda MotoGP tester;

"Cycling has been my passion for years and I decided to leave MotoGP early to join a program that fits my passion so well. I am deeply grateful to Lidl-Trek for welcoming me into their family and supporting me. I will give everything I have," said the Catalan after his signing in words collected by AS.

The truth is that Aleix Espargaró is no stranger to the world of cycling. He lives in Andorra, where in recent years we have been able to see him train with many cyclists and former pros such as José Joaquín Rojas, Purito Rodríguez and his now new teammates Juanpe López and Carlos Verona. He was close to signing for Movistar Team in 2021 and now fulfils his dream of becoming a professional cyclist at the age of 35.
