Mads Pedersen and Giulio Ciccone will represent Lidl-Trek in the Vuelta a España, aiming for stage victories, the mountains jersey, and a potential hat trick of Grand Tour points jerseys. Pedersen excelled in previous races, winning four stages and the points jersey at the Giro d'Italia. He performed well at the Tour of Denmark, and he targets the flat and rolling stages. The team, lacking an overall contender, is strong and resembles their successful line-up during the Giro despite previous setbacks.
"My first goal is to win some stages, and then hopefully that puts me in a good place for the points jersey. Having all three Grand Tour points jerseys won by the team in one year would be the cherry on the top."
"We have a really strong team, quite similar to the Giro, which was close to perfect. Until [Ciccone] crashed at the Giro, we showed that it worked well combining the stage and points jersey ambitions with Cicco in the mountains."
