It was announced for several weeks and it’s finally official, Tao Geoghegan Hart is joining Lidl-Trek from next season. This Thursday, the American formation announced it on its social networks. The 2020 Giro winner has signed a three-year contract. In addition to Jonathan Milan yesterday, the Lidl Trek records the arrival of a second top rookie. However, the Ineos team wanted to keep their climber who seemed to be back to his best level this year. But at 28, the Briton had desires elsewhere: “After seven years in the same organization, there are a lot of different emotions before tackling a new challenge in 2024. A new challenge is definitely exciting and I’m really looking forward to opening this new chapter of my career. The team has big goals and partners who are willing and able to support those ambitions. I believe that I can still improve a lot as a rider and I showed in 2023, until my injury, what I can do as a leader. I consider myself a Grand Tour rider, but I really want to try to win victories in all the races I line up for throughout the season,” said the man who raised his arms four times in 2023.
