Teams & Riders Derek Gee is the new G

[James M]

good

i hope hes had a good winter, despite the deal being finalised late. i expect something similar to last year at first

Despite beeing without a scheduled made for him I recall reading he said he had a good winter and none of it disprupted him from beeing on the bike and log the whole winter without sickness etc.

I expect something simular aswell early on but I do wonder how much it impacts him having basically the entire second part of the season without the intensity from racing km in his legs, quite some time and to which extent the uncertain situation impacted the quality of training he had duo to proper rest in betwem. Wouldnt surprise me if he had to ease to some degree more into it atleast in UAE tour.

Gee is surrounded by some quality guys at Trek, many at the end of good pro careers.
Ayuso is a talent, Ciccone better than both in my opinion at 31.
Trek has a solid squad and Gee has real opportunities. Depending on how you look at it either UAE thought Isaac Del Toro is flying or getting some decent hard kilometers are beneficial. He had Strade as his start but now will come out 3 weeks earlier.
If Gee ends up racing UAE tour it's a great chance for him to show his early form.

Just shows the depth Lidl-Trek now has as a team, replacement being of the same quality or even higher.
