Daan Hoole achieved his first-ever UCI win during stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia, marking a significant accomplishment for the Lidl-Trek cycling team. Despite having only one previous victory, Hoole's win reflects the team's remarkable performance throughout the race, having secured multiple stage wins and leading in various standings. He credits the team's success to their depth and the financial backing from Lidl, which has allowed them to invest in both riders and technical advancements, enhancing their overall competitiveness and setting the stage for possible General Classification successes.
"I think we just have a super good team... since Lidl joined, we had extra budget to buy better riders, and that has reflected in our results."
"The reported injection of cash from Lidl has directly correlated with bigger, better results, partly as it's given the team the time and resources to work on technical aspects of racing."
