The current leader of the Giro d'Italia , 29, remains loyal to the American team with whom he made his World Tour debut in 2017, when it was still called Trek-Segafredo. "The decision to stay with Lidl-Trek until the end of my career was an easy one. This team has become a second family," said the 2019 world champion, who has had a remarkable season so far, in a statement.
Winner of the Tour de la Provence , Ghent-Wevelgem , second in the Tour of Flanders and third in Paris-Roubaix , he also won two stages at the Giro, where he currently wears the pink jersey. "My big goal for the next few years is to win this Monument for which I am fighting and in general to win as many victories as possible," adds Pedersen, who is following in the footsteps of Belgian Wout Van Aert who also signed such a "lifetime contract" last year with the Visma-Lease a bike team.
