"I'm so, so excited to join the team. This feels like a step up for me. At the end of the day, my job as a cyclist is to be a domestique, and I've been looking for that one big leader I could fully commit to. With Mads, I feel I've found exactly that. I want to be excellent at my job, and I have one big dream: to help Mads win a Monument."
"With leaders like Mads, [Giulio] Ciccone, [Jonathan] Milan, and [Mathias] Skjelmose, I know there will always be a role for me and a clear purpose in the team. Hearing from Emma about how the team works only made the decision easier. I've raced on the same team as my sister before, and it's a crazy but special feeling. Sharing camps and races with her brings a lot of pride to my family, and I can't wait to experience that again."
Mathias Norsgaard will leave Movistar a year early to join Lidl-Trek for the 2026 season on a two-year contract through 2027. Norsgaard, 28, will ride as a key domestique for compatriot Mads Pedersen and aims to help Pedersen win a Monument. His younger sister, Emma Norsgaard, signed for Lidl-Trek's women's team for 2025. Norsgaard won the Danish national time-trial in 2022, has a top-10 at Dwars door Vlaanderen, and three UCI race wins. He turned professional in 2019 with Riwal Readynez and spent six seasons at Movistar.
