🚨Are Ineos Grenadiers close to having a devo team in 2025? 🇬🇧🇩🇪 'No comment' from the owner of Team Lotto Kern-Haus PSD Bank in Germany dnlbenson.substack.com/p/are-ineos-gr…
15 years later, INEOS Grenadiers set to finally create a development team

INEOS Grenadiers has gone through the most complicated year in its history as a team lacking the results it hoped for on a sporting level and with its top star, Tom Pidcock, mired in constant rumors of departure. So, with failure and bad feeling as companions, they want to start to change things and for that they are going to start with something they should have been doing for a long time, especially considering their huge budget: it seems that they are finally going to create a development team for 2025.
Almost all WorldTour teams (excluding Movistar Team and Cofidis) have development teams that allow them to secure promising young riders, something that is becoming increasingly more important currently where riders are able to win big already in their early 20's. INEOS Grenadiers has been a team with one of the highest budgets in pro cycling for over a decade now but somehow has never developed a youth rank. In recent years this has been harmful for it's signing of talents - and has actually seen the team sign junior riders directly into it's elite ranks - such as Theodor Storm, who has not actually raced for INEOS this year but is taking up a spot in the team.
Open negotiations
According to journalist Daniel Benson INEOS is in negotiations with Team Lotto Kern-Haus PSD Bank, a German continental team, which could serve as the base for this new structure. The deal is not closed, negotiations are open. We imagine that if the agreement does not work out with this squad they will try negotiating with another team. Seeing the extreme success of development programs such as those from UAE Team Emirates and Lotto Dstny, it is a no brainer that it is a good investment.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
