Søren Kragh Andersen has gone through a hit minor surgical procedure to take away a benign pseudotumor within the scrotal area, together with his Lidl-Trek workforce confirming that the Dane isn’t anticipated to be a part of the workforce’s cobbled Classics squad this spring.
“It’s a big disappointment to not be able to join the team for this important first part of the season, but the priority was to sort out the medical issue,” Kragh Andersen stated.
“There’s a lot of work to do to get ready for my Lidl-Trek debut, but I’m fully motivated to get back to my top shape and support the team for the rest of the season,” he added.
30-year-old Kragh Andersen raced a full Cobbled Classics and Ardennes campaign in 2024 while racing for Alpecin-Deceuninck and has finished in the top ten at Milan-San Remo three times. His palmares include victories at Paris-Tours, Eschborn-Frankfurt and two stages at the 2020 Tour de France.
He has yet to race in 2025, with the surgery keeping him off the bike and delaying his debut in Lidl-Trek colours.
“While he recently is not able to coach at the motorcycle because of the site of the surgical procedure, he has began a regime of swimming, operating and energy coaching as he prepares to go back to common on-bike coaching,” the workforce stated.
“Søren will in all probability omit the cobbled classics, on the other hand his not on time Lidl-Trek debut is because of happen in April.”
