Laurent Didier (born 19 July 1984) is a Luxembourgish professional road bicycle racer, currently riding for Trek–Segafredo.[2] Didier has also ridden for Danish Team Designa Køkken and Team Saxo Bank over his career.

Career

Didier is from Dippach, Luxembourg and his ancestors are no strangers to the world of cycling. His father and his grandfather both won stages in Tour de France and Giro d'Italia and his father, Lucien even wore the leader's jersey in the French stage race. Laurent is good in various terrains which makes him useful in different kinds of races.

From October 2008 to early February 2009, Didier rode for Danish Team CSC, and then moved home to Designa Køkken, also in Denmark.[3] In 2010, he finished second at the Luxembourg road championship behind Andy Schleck and was also runner-up in the time trial behind Kim Kirchen.[4]

To most cycling experts it was a huge surprise that Didier was selected for the 2013 Tour de France, at the expense of former Belgian champion Stijn Devolder.[citation needed]
