Lidl-Trek raced on gravel groupsets at Opening Weekend

Mathias Vacek climbs the Muur at Omloop .

Lidl-Trek riders were spotted using the SRAM Red XPLR 1x13 gravel groupset at both Opening Weekend races of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne at the weekend. 

Images have appeared of the team testing and using the groupset online since the winter. Mads Pedersen even posted a video on Instagram of testing it back in November last year, which first alerted us to things. Given that Opening Weekend marks the start of the Classics, it’s not too much of a surprise that the team are now using the equipment.
