“I only live a few years and now I make the step to this dream team,” says Vanpachtenbeke, who finished the Tour de France this season, in a announcement. “I could hardly have imagined that. I feel very honored that I can wear Lidl-Trek’s shirt in the coming two seasons and am super motivated to give everything. It is very special for me that I get the chance to learn from such experienced riders and employees. I can’t wait to contribute and become a full part of the Lidl-Trekpuzzel.”
