Filippo Ganna leaves INEOS Grenadiers: he will race with Lidl - Trek in 2027

Filippo Ganna to Lidl - Trek from 2027 The transfer is official: Filippo Ganna leaves INEOS Grenadiers and will wear the Lidl - Trek jersey in the 2027 season. The announcement was reported on October 13, 2026, marking a new chapter in the career of the Italian rider born in 1996. For Ganna, this is the fifth team of his UCI history, which began in 2015 with Lampre - Merida, continued with UAE Team Emirates in 2017-2018, then with Team INEOS from 2019 to 2025 and with Netcompany INEOS in 2026. The move to Lidl - Trek therefore represents a change of jersey after seven consecutive seasons with the British team. The transfer market of the two teams Lidl - Trek, in addition to Ganna, has announced five other signings: Felix Gall, Georg Zimmermann, Gregor Mühlberger, Igor Arrieta and Jordi Meeus. In the same period, two departures have been made official: those of Giulio Ciccone and Tao Geoghegan Hart. INEOS Grenadiers, for its part, records three announced departures (Ganna, Magnus Sheffield and Sam Welsford) and no announced arrivals. At Lidl - Trek, Ganna will find six fellow Italians: Giulio Ciccone, Matteo Sobrero, Simone Consonni and Andrea Bagioli. The average age of the Lidl - Trek roster (27 riders with known date of birth) is 31.2 years; Ganna, who will turn 31 on July 25, 2027, will have 16 younger teammates and 10 older ones. Ganna's 2026, according to data on our website, saw him achieve 27 top-50 finishes, with one victory in races or final classifications, seven stage wins and 16 podiums (including victories). His best result of the season is the victory in stage 10 of the 2026 Giro d'Italia on May 19, while at the Road World Championships he finished second in the Elite individual time trial and fifth in the mixed team relay. These numbers refer exclusively to races present on our website and do not constitute the complete balance of his season. With the arrival of Ganna, Lidl - Trek secures a rider who will face his first season with the new team in 2027, in a market that sees INEOS Grenadiers losing three elements without announcing new signings.
