Lidl-Trek 2025: Our Season in Numbers🚴

In 2025, Lidl-Trek delivered one of the most impressive and entertaining seasons in modern cycling, collecting 68 wins across the men’s, women’s, and development teams but the true scale of their achievement becomes clear only when you translate the numbers into real-world equivalents.

2025 was more than just a successful year; it became a season defined by global-scale mileage, gravity-defying climbing, caffeine-driven momentum, and an organisation-wide culture of winning.

Across our three teams we have 64 riders, lets see what their combined figures achieved:

🌎 They Rode Around Earth… More than once.

Between races, training rides, altitude camps and all-weather sessions, Lidl-Trek riders collectively covered an estimated 1,920,000 km in 2025.

To put that into perspective:

• Earth’s circumference = 40,075 km

• Lidl-Trek’s mileage = 48 full laps of the planet

Yes, the team effectively cycled around the world 48 times in a single season.
That’s one lap every 7.6 days…

🌕 Far Enough to Reach the Moon and Back (Twice)

🌍➡️🌕The Moon sits 384,400 km away.

They could have ridden to the Moon, came home, had lunch and then gone out and done it all over again!

🏔 They Climbed Mount Everest 

With an average rider logging ~400,000m of climbing:

• 64 riders × 400,000m = 25.6 million vertical metres

Mt Everest = 8,849 m

Lidl-Trek basically climbed 2,893 Mt Everests.

That means scaling Mt Everest 8 times a day.

🍕 Calories Burned 

Our riders burned roughly 1,000,000 calories over the course of the year.

In pizza terms, that adds up to ≈ 224,500 slices.

Now that’s a pizza party.

☕ Powered by Coffees

Our riders average 3 coffees per day during training and racing.

Across the full roster:

71,175 cups were consumed in 2025.

That’s roughly 16.8 tons of espressos..

🏆 A Win Every 5.3 Days

With 68 wins across men’s, women’s, and development teams, Lidl-Trek celebrated a victory roughly:

Every five days.

The victory bus didn’t get many days off.

🎧  Team Music Time 

Riders often listen to music during warm-ups, cool-downs and travel.
Assuming 1 hour of listening per rider, per day:

• 64 riders × 300 days = 19,200 hours of music.
  That’s over 2 years of continuous playlists.

Imagine 2 years of Mads Pedersen’s pre-race hype tracks.

🧃 50,000+ Bidons 

Riders average 2-4 bottles per hour during races.
Across the season, the team easily used more than 50,000 bidons.

Laid end to end, that’s long enough to stretch nearly 10km!

💚💜 And finally, 3 Grand Tour Points Jersey’s

A historical year where for the first time ever, a single team has secured all three points classification jerseys in the Grand Tours.

Lidl-Trek didn’t just race hard in 2025,  we circled the planet 48 times, climbed Mt Everest 2,893 times, drank oceans of coffee, and celebrated 68 wins while doing it.
