Lidl-Trek directeur sportif Kim Andersen has played down reports of tension between the team’s GC leader Mattias Skjelmose and new star signing Juan Ayuso after the Dane had expressed surprise at the addition of the Spaniard from UAE Team Emirates-XRG.
Skjelmose has developed into a stage racer leader for the team in the five years he’s spent there, but expressed doubts about the situation in an interview with TV2 last month.
“If he has a little difficulty helping Tadej [Pogačar], then I don’t know if he wants to help me in any way if it comes down to it. But it could also be that he just hasn’t had a good time at UAE. I don’t really know him, so of course I don’t know what happened on that team. I hope we can help each other.”
