Lidl-Trek is pleased to announce that MotoGP star Aleix Espargaró will join the Lidl-Trek family from 1 January 2025.

After two decades of racing at the top of MotoGP, Espargaró has chosen to dedicate his time to his other long-term passion: cycling. The three-time MotoGP winner will be an ambassador for Lidl-Trek, joining the team at some of the most prestigious events on the calendar and promoting the sport of cycling to a wide audience.

“I am thrilled to be part of the Lidl-Trek family, which is home to some of the world’s best cyclists,” said Espargaró. “I am excited to learn from some of the best cyclists and staff in the sport, to push my limits, and to share this special journey with the fans.”

Espargaró has been riding at a high level for many years, training alongside professional cyclists at home in Andorra. He is excited to push his physical potential with all the resources of the Lidl-Trek performance team. "After a back injury forced me to stop racing, I turned to cycling for recovery and training. Over time, it became more than just preparation; it became my passion. Living in Andorra, I have made friends with many professional cyclists, who have inspired me to train at a higher level."

"I am deeply grateful to Lidl-Trek for welcoming me into their family and supporting me. I will give it my all."
