<\/p>\n\n Dutch all-rounder ready to take a step up with Lidl-Trek\n <\/p>\n
Lidl-Trek are pleased to announce that Dutch all-rounder Loes Adegeest is joining the Team on a two-year contract, which will see her on board through 2027.<\/p>\n
First a speed skater, Adegeest competed for several years on the ice and even won a gold medal at the Junior World Championships. She later made the switch to cycling full time and joined the Women\u2019s WorldTour in 2023 with FDJ\u2013SUEZ. Adegeest hit the ground running by winning the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, edging out future teammate Amanda Spratt.<\/p>\n
Since then, Adegeest has showcased her versatility across a variety of terrains \u2014 performing deep into the hard classics, claiming a podium in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes individual time trial, and adding two World Championship titles in Esports racing to her palmar\u00e8s. Now, she is eager to take her next step with Lidl-Trek and level up on all fronts.<\/p>\n
The decision to choose for Lidl-Trek was a no-brainer, as from the first moment during the meeting I had, it felt like the perfect fit for what I was looking for and that feeling has only grown stronger, so I\u2019m excited for the next years!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always seen Lidl-Trek as a professional and well organized team, but with a good family-like atmosphere,\u201d said Loes Adegeest. \u201cIn the races it\u2019s a team that never goes unnoticed due to the attacking spirit. When I talked with the Team, that image was confirmed. What surprised me in a good way, is how the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams and staff work together, I think it can be really interesting to be able to share knowledge. I\u2019ve never ridden for a team where the men\u2019s and women\u2019s programs are so integrated, so I\u2019m curious to see how that dynamic will be.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, I was looking for a new challenge, a step out of the comfort zone FDJ-SUEZ had become. I hope to improve myself in the classics, to colour the finals with the Team. Also the TT is something I want to take another step forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cLoes has shown she\u2019s not afraid to race aggressively and take opportunities, and her versatility makes her a real asset,\u201d said Luca Guercilena, Lidl-Trek General Manager. \u201cShe can handle herself well in the hard classics, she\u2019s strong in time trials as we saw at the Tour de France Femmes this year, and she brings a lot of enthusiasm about joining this Team. We\u2019re confident she\u2019ll be a great fit and we\u2019re ready to support her as she takes on this new challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dutch all-rounder ready to take a step up with Lidl-Trek Lidl-Trek are pleased to announce that Dutch all-rounder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-96276","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
