The Danish powerhouse has committed to another two years with Lidl-Trek
Since joining Lidl-Trek in 2025, Søren Kragh Andersen has established himself as a valuable member of the squad, bringing a wealth of experience, strength and versatility to the team across a demanding racing calendar.
A proven winner at the highest level, the 32-year-old Dane boasts an impressive palmarès that include two stage victories at the 2020 Tour de France and success at both Eschborn-Frankfurt and Paris-Tours. His ability to perform across a variety of terrain, from the cobbled Classics to the biggest stage races, has made him an important asset to Lidl-Trek.
I am super excited to stay with this team. It has always been a dream being in this team, but I think now with the commitment from Lidl, it is an even more exciting future and I am really happy to be on board.
Beyond his individual ambitions, Kragh Andersen has become a trusted teammate, playing a key role in supporting the team’s leaders and contributing to its collective success, especially in the Classics. His experience, tactical intelligence and selfless approach to racing are qualities that will remain invaluable as Lidl-Trek plans an ambitious 2027 campaign.
With his future secured for another two seasons, Kragh Andersen is looking forward to building on the progress made during his time with the team, while continuing to chase opportunities for success both individually and collectively.
The Classics are big goals, especially helping Mads Pedersen win a Monument. Personally I would also love to win a stage at the Giro d’Italia, Tour of Denmark and Tour of Luxembourg. For the rest, it’s about high performance, being part of the team and helping it grow. This is the strongest team I’ve ever been a part of and it’s going to be cool.
Andy Schleck, Lidl-Trek CEO also commented:
“Søren is exactly the kind of rider every team wants to have. He’s incredibly strong, experienced and versatile, but what really stands out is his commitment to the team and the work he does for others. He’s someone we know we can rely on in the biggest races, whether that’s supporting our leaders or taking his own opportunities. Over the past few years, he’s become an important part of our group, both on and off the bike, and we’re really happy that he’ll continue with us through 2028. We have big ambitions for the coming seasons, and having riders like Søren in the team is essential to achieving them.”
