Lidl-Trek has confirmed a host of senior leadership changes that will occur after this year’s men’s Tour de France and through the summer, including the departure of long-term team manager Luca Guercilena, and the arrival of Grischa Niermann, whose exit from rival team Visma-Lease a Bike was announced Tuesday morning.
