Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

Interesting about taking blood samples as Sky & Doc Freeman got into trouble for their in-house testing some years ago.

Not sure you are talking apples to apples.

Well, in this case, for lactate testing, blood samples should not mean more than a fingerstick with a small device, like the ones used to measure sugar levels in diabetics.

There was* a nice banner with the Danish Trek (WT) trio hanging on the wall of my local Lidl today.
"But, Red" I hear you say "There are only two Danish riders on the Trek WorldTeam." Yeah, they were including Withen.









*I'm assuming it's still there.

there's three other guys at the development team too

I still like Trek but don't get why they didn't keep Hellemose

Hence why I specified the WT team.
No room for the Lidl brother, Egholm, and Frydkjær.

stoked that Milan will be sent to the tour. Although I would have liked to see Pedersen join him, this is still a fine decision, as Milan is closer to the top of his chosen discipline than Pedersen is, imo.

My wife saw the racing going on yesterday: "What's the team dressed as Cadbury's Creme Eggs?"

The way Pedersen, Kragh and Withen rode the Danish Championships yesterday, makes me think that those 3 need to ride M-SR, Ronde and P-R together.

It was a completely dominant performance from all 3 - on a route that resembled Worlds in Glasgow (with the added "benefit" of strong crosswinds).

Edit:

From what else I have seen this season, I think this team could seriously tangle with Pogacar and MvdP at the first 3 monuments:

Pedersen
Vacek
Simmons
Skujins
Kragh
Withen
Kirsch

But it will probably be a hard sell to bring none of the Italians for M-SR - and no Milan for P-R
