Tony
Gallopin
Tony Gallopin made his return to Lidl-Trek in 2022. With 14 years of professional experience, Tony Gallopin fills a captain and mentor role. Tony previously raced for the Team under the RadioShack banner in 2012 and 2013, so he’s familiar with the Trek family. In his prime years, he was one of the pro peloton’s top puncheurs. Some of his notable wins include Clásica San Sebastian (2013) and a stage of the Tour de France (2014), plus he has also shouldered the coveted yellow leader’s jersey. Tony last tasted victory in 2018, winning a stage at the Vuelta a España and the overall in Etoile de Bessèges. In the past few years, he has battled bad luck, so his homecoming comes with a desire to rediscover his puncheur touch and find victory again.
