Lidl-Trek adds a junior team

Lidl-Trek announced on Monday that it has launched a junior team "in partnership with the German regional team of Baden-Württemberg." The new squad adds a contingent of even younger prospects to an organization that already has an under-23 development team. "Creating Lidl-Trek Junior Racing gives us a level of structure in our scouting process that we haven’t had before — one that allows us to detect talent earlier and give young riders a clear, supported pathway toward the development team," said Josu Larrazabal, Lidl-Treak's head scout. "Because the team is registered as a Club Team it doesn’t conflict with races where national federations take part, which means we can build the best possible race programme around each rider."
