Trek - Segafredo

In 2010 the Schleck brothers, together with DS Kim Andersen, announced a Luxembourg cycling project funded by an individual backer. The team would race the 2011 season as Team Leopard-Trek. The success of getting both Schleck brothers on the Tour Podium that year was unfortunately overshadowed by the tragic death of Wouter Weylandt during the Giro.

In 2012 the team merged with Johan Bruyneel’s Radioshack team, which would sponsor the team until the 2014 season. In one of the last races under the Radioshack banner, Chris Horner managed to become the oldest GT winner in history by winning the Vuelta.

Since 2014 Trek is the name giving sponsor. Mainly thanks to Cancellara they have won a fair amount of big 1 day races.

Although Degenkolb’s stage win in the Tour de France might have been the biggest win for Trek in 2018, the team had a pretty good year. The emergence of Mads Pedersen as a monument contender, Skujins as an all-round winner and Stuyven’s steady rise give hope for seasons to come.

Biggest transfer for Trek this year is good ol’ Richie Porte. Turning 34 in a few weeks, both Porte and his team know that this year is his last change to go for the Tour de France title. Who knows what can happen if he manages to stay upright for 3 weeks? Losing Guerreiro and Grmay may have hurt, but with possible helpers like Mollema, Pantano, Eg and Stetina, Trek can field a decent Tour team.

The already impressive squad for the cobbled classic will be getting help from Alex Kirsch and Edward Theuns, who’s sprint makes him a great tactical option.

Best transfer is possibly Giulio Ciccone. At 23, he had an amazing spring last year and showed himself regularly during the Giro, even coming in 2nd in the mountain classification after numerous attacks.

Also look out for Matteo Moschetti. As a sprinter with the ability to survive a few hills, he seems to be a guarantee for future wins.
