'We tested over the limit' - We talk Paris-Roubaix tech with Lidl-Trek's Technical Manager

Paris-Roubaix.

"Expectations are high, and we want to win both editions, men and women," is the short, intent-filled answer that Lidl-Trek Technical Manager, Glen Leven, gives when asked about the team's goals for Paris-Roubaix this year. The team has enjoyed a strong Classics campaign so far, and the confident, attacking riding by leaders Mads Pedersen and Jasper Stuyven has drawn praise and resulted in a win at Gent-Wevelgem, even if lady luck didn't smile on them quite as much at Dwars door Vlaanderen.

As Technical Manager, Leven is responsible for overseeing the Lidl-Trek team of mechanics, all of the team's equipment, and any prototype parts and testing. He also has over a decade of experience as a mechanic at the top level under his belt.
