Former British Grand Tour winner set to join EF-Education Easypost in bid to re-find winning touch after injury complications. Tuesday, 08 September 2026 at 01:08 Former Giro d'Italia champion Tao Geoghegan Hart is hoping to re-find his winning touch as he leaves Lidl-Trek after three seasons at the team that has seen him struggle to reach his previous heights following a brutal injury suffered in 2023. According to journalist Daniel Benson, Geoghegan Hart will join EF-Education Easypost from Lidl Trek in 2027. The team have not yet confirmed the transfer officially. The British rider won the Giro in 2020, taking the pink jersey in the Covid-19-affected edition of the race. With notable performances throughout the race, he took the pink jersey on the final day with a time trial performance that saw him overtake Jai Hindley. "He's not the only one that can come close... the guy next to me" - Tadej Pogacar warns of Del Toro In 2023, he was enjoying a purple patch as he finished on the Tirreno Adriatico podium and won the Tour of the Alps before riding well throughout the first half of the Giro before suffering a crash. Tao Geoghegan Hart Geoghegan Hart's 2023 crash and setbacks. He sustained a complex fracture to his left femur in what proved to be a season-ending injury and his last involvement with INEOS before lidl-Trek signed him. He only rode one Grand Tour during his time with Lidl-Trek - the 2024 Vuelta a Espana. However, he would not scale the heights witnessed before his 2023 crash as a 2025 Tour of Slovenia podium proved the closest return to form witnessed during his three-season spell. A change of scenery at EF could prove beneficial for the British rider, who will be joined by the likes of Ben Healy, Neilson Powless and Alex Baudin among others at Jonathan Vaughters' outfit.

Speaking at the beginning of the season, Geoghegan Hart explained that the difference this paster winter has been the absence of the rehabilitation and recovery processes that dominated his previous off-seasons. "It's the first normal winter I've had since I've been on the team," he told Cycling Weekly. "Physically and with fresh numbers, I've had no problems for a few years now, but that's different to translating it to a race," he added. "I've not had one day on a bike where I really had magic legs or was feeling great for a few years now, but in the end, you just have to keep working away."

Jordan Jegat joins Lidl-Trek through 2029 after consecutive Tour de France top 10s. * Published on August 21, 2026 * in Men's Cycling Jordan Jegat will join Lidl-Trek from TotalEnergies for the 2027 season after signing a three-year contract running through the end of 2029. Table of Contents The 27-year-old French climber becomes Lidl-Trek's first new recruit for 2027 and will make the step up to the WorldTour after establishing himself as one of the most consistent Grand Tour riders outside cycling's top division. Jegat has finished inside the top 10 at each of the past two Tours de France, including 10th overall in 2026, and also claimed the first professional victory of his career earlier this season at the Classic Grand Besançon Doubs. Lidl-Trek see his climbing, tactical judgement and consistency across three weeks as qualities that can strengthen their Grand Tour group. The move is the latest confirmed deal in ProCyclingUK's Men's Cycling Transfers Hub, which tracks the major signings, extensions and departures shaping the 2027 peloton. Jegat earns WorldTour move after another breakthrough season. Jegat's progress through the French professional ranks has been unusually steady rather than explosive. The Breton has improved season by season with TotalEnergies, gradually becoming a rider capable of producing significant results in both climbing races and Grand Tours. His 2026 season began particularly well when he took his first professional victory at the Classic Grand Besançon Doubs, a strong response after what Lidl-Trek described as a difficult winter. The more important confirmation came at the Tour de France, where Jegat again demonstrated that he can remain competitive across three weeks rather than relying on one isolated breakthrough. Jegat finished 10th overall at the 2026 Tour, 33 minutes 21 seconds behind five-time winner Tadej Pogačar. The Tour de France 2026 final results show him completing a remarkably strong top 10 containing riders including Remco Evenepoel, Isaac del Toro, Paul Seixas, Mattias Skjelmose, Juan Ayuso, Richard Carapaz and Tom Pidcock. That result followed another top-10 finish in 2025 and removes much of the uncertainty over whether Jegat can repeatedly sustain a high overall level at the Tour. Breakaway racing has been central to Jegat's Tour success. Jegat's GC results have not come through trying to match the strongest Tour contenders on every decisive mountain. One of his greatest strengths has been recognising when breakaways can become part of an overall classification strategy. That was particularly evident during the 2026 Tour. On Stage 17, Jegat joined the decisive move and gained the full 8 minutes 46 seconds on the main yellow jersey group, consolidating ninth place and dramatically reducing the gap to the riders immediately ahead of him. ProCyclingUK's GC update after Tour de France Stage 17 highlighted how important that move was to his eventual top-10 result. It is precisely that combination of climbing and tactical awareness that makes Jegat particularly useful to Lidl-Trek. He does not need to be designated as an outright Grand Tour leader to influence the classification. He can support another leader, retain his own GC position and use breakaways when the race situation allows him greater freedom. That flexibility is increasingly valuable on a squad with several high-level stage-racing options. Jegat wants to discover the Giro and Vuelta. The move should also expand Jegat's Grand Tour programme beyond the race that has defined much of his recent success. He has made clear that one of the attractions of joining Lidl-Trek is the opportunity to experience the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España while continuing to develop at WorldTour level. Jegat said: "I'm really excited and proud to join the team. I hope to keep improving, keep learning and reach my full potential over the coming years. I'm happy to join Julien Bernard again. He's a great friend and played an important role in making this transfer happen." His first professional victory in 2026 has also increased his ambition to target more wins rather than measuring progress solely through GC positions. "I won my first race this year, and I want to win again. I'm looking forward to discovering the Vuelta and the Giro, and to confirming my place at WorldTour level. I want to keep progressing and aim for even better results." The Tour nevertheless remains particularly important to him. "Of course, the Tour de France will always be the race I love the most. I'm looking forward to helping the team achieve the best possible results. Can't wait for what's next!" Lidl-Trek believe there is still more to unlock. Lidl-Trek CEO Andy Schleck pointed towards Jegat's consistency rather than any single result when explaining the signing. Two consecutive Tour top 10s provide strong evidence that Jegat can remain competitive through the accumulated fatigue of a Grand Tour, while his ability to climb and judge breakaways gives the team something more flexible than a conventional protected GC rider. Schleck said: "Jordan has demonstrated a lot of qualities that have impressed us: consistency across three weeks, strong climbing and a smart racing instinct. He also has a mature, positive outlook and the right mindset for our team." Most significantly, Lidl-Trek do not appear to view the 27-year-old as a finished product. "His two top-10 results in the Tour de France confirm his ability, but we think we can unlock even more from him at Lidl-Trek. We're looking forward to working with him." That makes the three-year contract important. Jegat is being signed not simply to reproduce what he has already done with TotalEnergies, but with the expectation that a move into a WorldTour performance structure can raise his level further. His 2026 Tour showed exactly what Lidl-Trek are signing. Jegat's final Tour position was built through persistence as much as raw climbing ability. He repeatedly appeared in strong breakaways during the race and continued looking for opportunities even deep into the final week. By Stage 20, he was still attacking on difficult terrain while defending his place inside the top 10. ProCyclingUK's Stage 20 report from the 2025 Tour also provides a useful example of the same racing instinct a year earlier, with Jegat attacking on the Côte de Thésy while trying to improve his overall classification. That consistency across two editions is arguably more important than one headline mountain result. A rider who can remain tactically active late in a Grand Tour while still protecting a top-10 GC position gives his team several ways to influence the race. What Jegat brings to Lidl-Trek. Jegat's arrival gives Lidl-Trek another rider capable of operating between a pure domestique role and his own general classification ambitions. His consecutive Tour top 10s mean he has already demonstrated a level of three-week consistency that relatively few riders can offer. At the same time, the way he has achieved those results means he does not necessarily require an entire team to be built around him. That should make him particularly valuable when Lidl-Trek arrive at a Grand Tour with a more obvious protected leader. Jegat can provide mountain support when required, preserve his own classification if the race allows it and then move into breakaways when there is an opportunity to gain time or pursue a stage result. Lidl-Trek already demonstrated their Grand Tour strength during the 2026 Tour, with Mattias Skjelmose finishing sixth and Juan Ayuso seventh overall, while the team also won the team classification. The 2026 Tour de France final standings underline the depth of the stage-racing group Jegat is joining. Adding another rider capable of finishing inside the Tour top 10 strengthens that depth even further. A three-year deal gives Jegat time to find his WorldTour ceiling. The length of the contract is significant. Jegat will spend his age-28, 29 and 30 seasons with Lidl-Trek, giving both rider and team enough time to determine whether his existing Grand Tour level can be pushed significantly higher. His immediate objectives do not need to centre on turning 10th at the Tour into a podium challenge. Simply broadening his programme to include the Giro and Vuelta, improving his climbing within a WorldTour structure and becoming a more regular race winner would already represent substantial development. There is also value in discovering whether his breakaway-based approach to GC can evolve once he is surrounded by a deeper support structure. Jegat has built his reputation by extracting the maximum from the opportunities available to him at TotalEnergies. Lidl-Trek will now try to establish what happens when those opportunities become broader. He will complete the 2026 season with TotalEnergies before making the move on 1 January. From 2027, Jordan Jegat will become a Lidl-Trek rider on a contract through the end of 2029, stepping into the WorldTour after two consecutive Tour de France top 10s and with the expectation that his best stage-racing years may still be ahead of him.

Prior to August 1, plenty of contracts have already been extended, and some transfers have been announced or confirmed. Some moves have already taken place mid-season, too, as there are different rules for signing riders who don't currently have a professional contract. Plenty have teams have already confirmed signings of neo-pros from their development squads too. Teams are allowed to have transfer discussions and ink deals with riders whose contracts are ending before August 1, and often do - especially during the Tour de France, the height of transfer negotiations.

Trek introduces new RSL Lace Road Cycling and Mountain Bike Shoes. Terk's top-tier RSL Road and MTB shoes, now available with laces. (All photos/Trek Bikes) If you're among the many riders who prefer the simplicity and comfort of traditional shoe laces on their cycling shoes, Trek has two new race-ready options with the new RSL Lace Road and MTB Shoes. Built with the same 100% OCLV carbon sole, METNET uppers, and Trek Pro Last as the existing BOA-equipped RSL Road and Mountain shoes, the new lace-up versions come in at a lower price, lighter weight, and with claimed aerodynamic gains. What's new with the Trek's RSL Lace models. First, foremost, and most obviously, laces are the main thing that's new with the RSL Lace shoes. According to Trek, the sleek profile created by the lace closure is more aerodynamic and delivers measurable watt savings. On top of that, Trek says the laces offer a precise, customizable fit while also reducing the weight of both models. Aero gains. Based on the results of wind tunnel testing, Trek says the RSL Lace Road shoes are measurably faster than their BOA-equipped sibling, "saving riders an average of 1.84 watts of free speed," at 45kph. Trek includes Aero Lace Covers with the RSL shoes, which keep the laces tidy and air flowing smoothly over the top of the foot. Lighter weight. Trek also claims a weight savings of 38-39 grams per shoe for the RSL Lace models compared to their BOA-equipped counterparts. The claimed weight of the RSL Lace Road is 211 grams per shoe (size 42), whereas the BOA version is stated at 249 grams per shoe in the same size. Likewise, the RSL Lace MTB has a claimed weight of 272 grams per shoe (size 42), while the BOA version is 311 grams per shoe in the same size. Comfort. Simple, effective, and customizable, the adjustability of laces allows riders to customize the shoe tension and fit to their exact preferences. Combined with the METNET relief zones in the uppers and the wider performance fit of the Pro Last, Trek claims it all works together to relieve metatarsal pressure and provide all-day comfort. Locked-In power. Along with the uber-stiff 100% OCLV Carbon plates underfoot, Trek has added an all-new Watt Lock internal structure to provide additional foot stability and security and optimize pedaling efficiency and power transfer throughout the entire pedal stroke. Lower price. Shoe laces cost significantly less than BOA closures, and that's reflected in the price of the RSL Lace models. Both the RSL Lace Road and RSL Lace Mountain shoes are priced at $375, well below the $495 asking price for the BOA versions. RSL Lace Road vs. RSL Lace Mountain. Like the BOA versions of the RSL Road and MTB models, the Lace versions look nearly identical to each other, with the primary difference being the sole. The Mountain Bike version is compatible with 2-bolt cleats, and the 100% OCLV Carbon plate is covered with a lugged rubber tread to provide off-bike traction and walkability. The Road shoe's carbon plate/sole remains largely exposed, with a 3-bolt cleat interface, under toe and mid-foot vents, and rubber pads at the toe and heel. Otherwise, the shoes share the following specs and design features. * METNET relief zones stretch and conform to the foot to relieve common spots of discomfort. * Trek Pro Last provides a wider performance fit to better match the average foot * Customize your comfort by tightening or loosening the laces in certain areas * 100% OCLV Carbon plate provides excellent power transfer for optimal pedaling efficiency * Watt Lock internal structure secures the foot for more efficient power transfer on the upstroke of every pedal revolution * Improved heel gives lace shoes better fit and comfort on every ride Both the RSL Lace Road and MTB shoes are unisex and available in whole EU sizes from 36 to 48, with half sizes from 38.5 to 45.5. At present, the RSL Lace shoes are offered in white only. Trek RSL Lace Road Cycling shoe: $375. * Tested 1.8 watts faster at 45kph in the wind tunnel compared to RSL Road with BOA * 211g per shoe (size 42) * Compatible with 3-bolt cleats Trek RSL Lace MTB: $375. * Designed for XC World Cup racers looking for every aero and weight advantage to win * 272g per shoe (size 42) * Compatible with 2-bolt SPD-style cleats Trek RSL Lace shoes: availability. The new RSL Lace Road Cycling and Mountain Bike Shoes are available now. You can find them on the brand's website, select retailers, or the nearest Trek store.
Visma-Lease a Bike head of racing Grischa Niermann set to leave team for Lidl-Trek - reports. Various publications reporting major move with other shuffles likely at Lidl-Trek In a shock managerial change, Visma-Lease a Bike's head of racing, Grischa Niermann, is reportedly set to depart the Dutch team and join Lidl-Trek, where he would replace longstanding general manager, Luca Guercilena. This is according to news broken on Monday evening by Daniel Benson's Substack, Dutch publication Wielerflits and Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws. It would mark a significant shake-up for two of cycling's big-budget super teams, with Niermann having only been in his managerial position at Visma since September 30 2024, when Grand Tour mastermind Merijn Zeeman left the team for a job in football. Niermann has overseen a very successful stint, having worked as head coach at Visma for several years prior, and as a directeur sportif for the team since 2017. The German retired as a pro rider in 2012 after 15 years with Rabobank, then worked for their women's team and development squad, before joining what was LottoNL Jumbo at the time. Latest Videos From Having just steered Visma to their second Giro d'Italia title in two years with Jonas Vingegaard, Wielerflits reported that DS Marc Reef is expected to step up into Niermann's management role. The Dutchman has been part of the performance team since 2022, after making his way as a DS on a long stint at DSM (now Picnic PostNL). Guercilena's Lidl-Trek departure would mark the end of an era for the Italian, who oversaw much of Trek's development to now being one of the top teams in the sport, as a men's squad, women's squad, and as a development programme. He joined the team in 2011 as a DS when it was formed as Leopard Trek. Lidl-Trek switched from being a US-licensed team to riding under a German flag for 2026, and would have one of the most experienced operators in the WorldTour steering the ship with Niermann, who is a proven Grand Tour expert. Aside from his successes with the likes of Wout van Aert in the Classics, the German contributed heavily to 10 Grand Tour wins during his time with Visma for Vingegaard, Primož Roglič, Simon Yates, and Sepp Kuss. They have gone through several management changes already in the past 18 months, with the supermarket chain Lidl first taking a majority ownership stake last July. After this, Andy Schleck was appointed as Deputy General Manager in December, before brother Fränk Schleck took over from Mick Rogers as the director of the women's team, and Bernie Eisel moved up from sports director to head of racing in April. Accoriding to Daniel Benson's report, Andy Schleck would become CEO of Lidl-Trek amid the changes, but their are various different reports about the exact nature of the shake-ups at both teams, with no changes officially announced yet.
