Gaia Realini has extended her contract with Lidl-Trek until the end of 2027, with the Italian climber raising her ambitions for the years to come.
On her very first outing with Lidl-Trek last season Realini supported teammate Elisa Longo Borghini to victory at the UAE Tour and also joined her experienced teammate on the podium in second. She then continued on to scoop up victory at the Trofeo Oro, hit the podium at La Flèche Wallonne, won a stage at La Vuelta Femenina and came third overall in Spain and also at the Giro d'Italia Donne.
