Retiring at the end of the season, Schär will become a DS at
Lidl-Trek. Hopefully, the former Swiss National Champion can put his experience to good use in regards to any cycling giants he meets in the future.
“We tried so much different stuff: 180 cranks, then we had 190 cranks,” he details, before explaining how it turned out smaller was actually the right way to go. “It got more relaxed, my position. From a 150 to a 140 stem, to now it’s a 130. It’s always getting a bit more ready for retirement.”
