Trek Factory Racing have announced that they have extended the contract with Laurent Didier who will continue in his role as road captain for another two years. The team has also signed Marco Coledan from Bardiani, with the Italian set to to replace Danilo Hondo in the lead-out train.

Trek Factory Racing announces a contract extension for Laurent Didier and the arrival of Italian sprinter Marco Coledan to the team. Both will remain with the team until the end of 2016.

Laurent Didier is committing to a further two years with the team. The Luxembourger is a proven domestique rider and road captain. He won his first international race at the USA Pro Challenge in August, after taking the national time trial title back in June.

“There’s really no reason for me to even consider changing teams," he said. "I feel good here and I feel a lot of trust from the team in my capacities. I have a lot of friends in this team and we have excellent vibes going on. I like to work for the team, both in one day races and stage races, and I like that I get the occasional opportunity to ride for myself, like in Colorado. I’m really happy with a new two year contract.”

“Laurent has grown more and more into the role of road captain, especially in races without race radios," General Manager Luca Guercilena said. "He has proven he can deliver for the team in the biggest races. His quality to guide a team and be ‘a director on a bike’ are obvious and we are very happy to have him as a part of team for another two years.”

Trek Factory Racing is also pleased to announce the addition of Marco Coledan to its roster. The 26-year old Italian Giro del Friuli stage winner joins TFR on a two year contract and will hold an important role in the team sprint ambitions.

“I’m in the seventh heaven with this opportunity," he said. "This team is one of the best in the world and I’m very proud to be a part of it. I am so grateful for the trust that Luca (Guercilena) is giving me and I hope to reward it. The team has some young and talented sprinters and I hope to do my share to bring them to victory.”

“Marco is a very strong rider, although his experience comes from the track, more so than from road racing," Guercilena said. "He comes to us as one of the few new riders for 2015. We are confident that he can be the right wagon in the sprint train of Giacomo Nizzolo, our first sprinter, now that Danilo Hondo is retiring.”
