British allrounder Elynor Bäckstedt has joined Lidl-Trek teammates Elisa Longo Borghini and Brodie Champman in moving across to UAE ADQ, with the 22-year-old signing a three-year deal.
Having turned pro very young with Trek-Segafredo in 2020 after a successful junior career, Bäckstedt has spent much of the last four years working as a loyal domestique, without enjoying the same success she did in the younger category as a junior Gent-Wevelgem winner.
