MotoGP star Aleix Espargaró is set to join Lidl-Trek as an ambassador, the team announced on Monday, with the Catalan motorbike racer moving on from motorsport to cycling at the end of this year.
The move 'from leather to lycra', as the Lidl-Trek press release put it after the news first broke in Relevo last week, will enable Espargaró to attend various events with the team as well as 'promoting the sport to a wider audience.'
