Lidl-Trek had a strong 2023 season with Mads Pedersen as the headliner but for the 2024 season the team have brought in reinforcements in the form of Jonathan Milan, Tao Geoghegan Hart and more to make the squad more all-round.
Mads Pedersen had plenty of top results and will be looking for monument success and could be the rider to look for as well in the Tour de France.
Mattias Skjelmose equally will look to build on his 2023 success where he won the Tour de Suisse and second in Fleche Walloone.

Visma Lease a Bike formerly known as Jumbo Visma had a phenomenal 2023 winning all the three grandtours with Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Sepp Kuss. With all of them sharing the podium in the Vuelta. But the hunt for another monument for Wout van Aert will continue into 2024 and maybe in 2024 Vingegaard will repeat the Tour-Vuelta double appearance.
New signings for the team include Mateo Jorgenson and Ben Tulett while the team will have a Roglic void for the first time since he signed in 2016.

The official route for the 111th Tour de France was shown off on Wednesday at Paris's Palais des Congrès. Once again, race organisers ASO chose a path that favours climbers over riders on wheels. Around seven good chances are there for sprinters, and the scenery is good for puncheurs and baroudeurs. But as the race gets closer to its end, the focus shifts to the mountains. Five summit finishes is the highest number possible. At the end of the second week, Pla d'Adet and Plateau de Beille happen back-to-back in the Pyrenees. The following week, Superdévoluy, Isola 2000, and La Colmiane all happen in the Alps.
