The Eritrean climber Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier extends with Lidl-Trek for a further two seasons.
Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier’s journey with the Team began in 2021 and in the close-to-six years since then, the Eritrean has continually proved his loyalty and commitment to the Lidl-Trek’s goals.
I feel comfortable in this group and I am proud of the work I do for the Team so continuing with Lidl-Trek was never in question.
Ghebreigzabhier is the reigning Eritrean time trial champion, a result he has achieved five times in his career, in addition to continental and national road race titles. He not only excels on the climbs, but has shown time and time again that he has the engine needed to pull on the flat to control a breakaway or position his teammates.

“I am really happy to stay part of the Lidl-Trek family for another two years. The Team has constantly showed their belief in me and they know they can count on me. I have always felt good in this Team and I know that my hard work is appreciated a lot by everyone, which is satisfying to know. I feel comfortable in this group and I am proud of the work I do for the Team so continuing with Lidl-Trek was never in question. I look forward to the years ahead.”
Andy Schleck, Lidl-Trek CEO
“Amanuel is an outstanding teammate and has played an important role in many of the Team’s victories. He is a powerful diesel engine when he is on the front of the peloton, and we know that we can trust him to do his job 100 percent. I am happy that he has decided to make Lidl-Trek his home for the next two years. Amanuel is consistently riding at a high level, and we look forward to continuing to work with him.”
