Didier, 28 years old, is the current Luxembourg road champion but his mission and desire is to help and support the team’s leaders, especially his fellow countrymen Fränk and Andy Schleck.

Unlike the majority of his peers, Laurent Didier decided to juggle racing with university studies until 2010, following in his father’s footsteps as a qualified electronics engineer.

Four-time Luxembourg Pro Champion Lucien Didier, who rode the Tour de France six times as a domestique for Bernard Hinault, was indeed also an engineer, able to combine his studies with a succesful cycling career. Laurent Didier’s grandfather, Bim Diederich, was even more succesful, having won three Tour de France stages and holding the yellow jersey for three days.

Laurent Didier is a good climber - he took home the climbers jersey from the 2012 Tour de Wallonie - but as a former Luxembourg Time Trial Champion, he also has a good TT in his legs. When not on the bike, Laurent likes to watch football.
