Polish cyclist Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney joins the Lidl–Trek team, signing a contract that runs through 2028. The 32-year-old leaves Canyon–SRAM, where she has been for nine years, following the announcement of her move.
The timing comes days after she wins silver at the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal. Multiple outlets frame the switch as a significant change for her and the women’s peloton, particularly because she has delivered major results over recent seasons, including second place at the Tour de France and road world silver. VeloNews adds that the move is aimed at competing more closely with top rival Demi Vollering, while The Athletic emphasizes the length of her tenure with Canyon–SRAM and the proximity to her world-championship podium finish.
Across coverage, the core facts remain consistent: Niewiadoma-Phinney departs Canyon–SRAM after nine years, signs with Lidl–Trek for several seasons, and the announcement follows her recent silver-medal performance in Montreal.
