They see Niewiadoma as the final piece of the puzzle &#8211; or at the very least their leader for the next couple of seasons before making a potential play for Paula Blasi, who is out of contract at UAE Team ADQ at the end of 2027. Lidl-Trek are one of three teams currently vying for the Spanish rider\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Niewiadoma has been with the same team since 2018. \ud83d\udcf8 SWpix.
