The Lidl-Trek development team has announced some new members for the upcoming season, including Matteo Milan and Martin Pedersen, who are brothers of Jonathan Milan and Mads Pedersen, respectively. Interestingly, the two famous brothers of the rookie duo will also be competing for Lidl-Trek next year.
Matteo Milan
Matteo Milan has spent the last two years competing for the Cycling Team Friuli ASD, an Italian continental team. The 20-year-old cyclist’s most notable achievement was his eighth-place finish in the prologue of the Tour de Szeklerland (Romania) in August this year.
Martin Pedersen
On the other hand, Martin Pedersen has a more diverse background. The 25-year-old brother of Mads Pedersen began his journey in youth cycling but took a temporary break in his career. However, his path took a positive turn in 2022 when he had the opportunity to compete for the Suri-Carl Ras continental team.
He also represented this team in the Olympia’s Tour (Netherlands) in the same year, achieving a second place in the final stage. In recent months, Martin also had the opportunity to do an internship with the Lidl-Trek main team, participating in events such as the Tour of Denmark and the CRO Race for the WorldTeam.
