As the 2026 season gets underway, Lucky Sport Cycling Team has implemented several changes within the staff and management structure around the team.

We would like to begin by thanking Therese Sundström, Head Soigneur, and Adam Granberg, Head Mechanic, who are both leaving the team. We thank them for their dedication and contribution to the team’s first season and wish them the very best of luck in their future endeavors.

Sporting Management

On the sporting side, the structure has been adjusted to strengthen both leadership and day-to-day performance support.

Erik Ekman steps up into the role of Director Sportif, while continuing his responsibilities as Head of Sport. In this combined role, Erik remains responsible for the entire sporting direction of the team, including race strategy, squad planning, and long-term performance development.

Martin Söderholm transitions from Director Sportif to Assistant Director Sportif, allowing him to place greater focus on rider coaching, training structure, and individual performance development.

Joining the team for 2026 is Morten Hegreberg from Norway, who takes on the role of Assistant Director Sportif. Morten brings valuable experience both as a former professional rider and from his work as Director Sportif during the formation and development of Team Coop, now known as Team Drali – Repsol. His background adds important depth and international experience to the sporting leadership group.

Sporting Management Structure for 2026

• Erik Ekman – Director Sportif and Head of Sport

• Morten Hegreberg – Assistant Director Sportif

• Martin Söderholm – Assistant Director Sportif

Mechanical Team

The mechanical squad for 2026 includes:

• Måns Andersson

• Adam Nylander

This structure allows the team to maintain high technical standards across all race blocks and training camps.

Medical and Soigneur Team

On the medical side, Lucky Sport Cycling Team has appointed Natalie Grinczer as Head of Physio, with a clear focus on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term rider health. This role will also ensure closer monitoring of rider wellbeing, both physically and mentally, throughout the season.

In addition, Julia Thompson and Martin Eckervad comes into the team as soigneurs, supporting the riders on a daily basis at races.

Extended Team Network

Beyond the core staff, Lucky Sport Cycling Team will once again rely on a broader network of trusted team members across Europe who will support the squad throughout the 2026 season, depending on race blocks and logistical needs.

With these changes, the team enters 2026 with a strengthened and well-balanced organization, combining continuity with new expertise, and creating the best possible environment for rider development and performance.
