Tao Geoghegan Hart's first two years at Lidl-Trek haven't gone to plan, with various illnesses and injuries causing the British rider setback after setback during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

2024 and 2025 saw the British racer suffer ailments at inopportune times, including a chest infection, stomach illness, a bout of COVID-19, and a fractured rib. These have left him unable to hit his previous best levels, with his most recent victory coming at the 2023 Tour of the Alps, a month before he fractured his hip at the Giro d'Italia.
