Lidl-Trek management have recognised it will not be straightforward to handle a lineup which is crammed with top names in 2027, but they argue that this is a 'luxury problem' that means they have ample options on the table.

Multiple World Time Trial Champion and Grand Tour stage winner Filippo Ganna (Netcompany Ineos) and top Austrian climber Felix Gall (Decathlon CGM CMN), runner-up in the Giro d'Italia and third in the Vuelta a España this season, are the highest-profile names added by Lidl-Trek to their already star-studded roster for 2027. But there are plenty more top racers who have joined the squad for next year.
