Tao Geoghegan Hart is set to make his debut for Lidl-Trek at the Volta ao Algarve this week. The British rider will be riding alongside other new riders Andrea Bagioli and Sam Oomen, as well as Daan Hoole, Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theuns and Mathias Vacek.
Bagioli and Oomen have already made their debut for the team at other races this season, with both of them riding the Figueira Champions Classic last weekend. This will also be Stuyven’s first race of the season, as the former Milano-Sanremo winner looks to build his form ahead of the opening weekend of the Classics at the end of the month.
At the Volta ao Algarve, the team will be aiming for a strong early season result in the overall standings with Geoghegan Hart, as he makes his return to racing after his season-ending crash at last year’s Giro d’Italia.

The former INEOS Grenadiers rider started last season well, with a stage win and a third place finish in the general classification at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. A similar performance at this race would be a strong statement of intent going into the rest of the year ahead of his main objective at the Tour de France.

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
