Jonathan Milan & Juan Pedro Lopez lead two-pronged Lidl-Trek lineup for Giro d'Italia 2024
CyclingMonday, 29 April 2024 at 15:00
In their two leaders, Lidl-Trek take a pair of former jersey winners back to the Giro d'Italia with 2023 Maglia Ciclamino winner Jonathan Milan and former 'Best Young Rider', Juan Pedro Lopez leading the charge on multiple fronts.
“With a sprinter like Milan, we will be working hard for every possible fast finish. He will be our leader for the sprints and winning the points jersey is something he can try to repeat again this year. We are aware of his potential but, of course, we can’t ignore the strong competition that, we’re sure, will give us a hard time," previews Lidl-Trek sports director Gregory Rast in conversation with the team's official website. "For this reason, Jonny will be supported by Edward Theuns and Simone Consonni, that is the train which we saw working well together in the first part of the season. The experience of Eddie and Simone will be key for Milan."
After his recent GC win at the Tour of the Alps, Lopez will stand as the main Maglia Rosa threat for Lidl-Trek, with Rast full of confidence is the Spanish climbing talent. “The man who, more than anyone else, has proven that he is ready for the Giro is Juanpe Lopez. His victory at the Tour of the Alps speaks for itself. Italian climbs suit him well, as he has already proven in 2022, and I am convinced that he can chase stage success on the toughest days," the sports director explains. "Then, day after day, he can keep a look to the evolution of the fight for the GC. I believe this can be a goal to chase as we go along, also considering the presence of two long time trials that are decisive for any GC talk."
With the team being completed by Jasper Stuyven, Andrea Bagioli, Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and Daan Hoole, there is plenty of possibility for success for Lidl-Trek at the opening Grand Tour of the season.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
