Tremendous turn of events in the future of Carlos Rodriguez. The 22-year-old Spanish rider, who looked set to join Movistar Team for the 2024 season, is reportedly very close to accepting a brutal renewal offer that INEOS Grenadiers has put on the table.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, more specifically the journalist specialized in the cycling market, Ciro Scognamiglio, Carlos Rodriguez will almost certainly remain at INEOS and will not leave for Movistar: "Updated information: The 22-year-old Spanish rider, 5th in the Tour de France and Spanish champion in road cycling in 2022, will probably (80%) remain at INEOS Grenadiers".

Much had been written about the possibility of Carlos having a signed contract with the Spanish team, and even his agent Giuseppe Acquadro said that the rider "had a pre-agreement with Movistar, but not definitive and the possibility of continuing in INEOS is still there". Many have been the media that assured that the rider from Granada was going to ride in the Spanish team, and now, according to the Italian media, that will not happen.
If Carlos Rodriguez finally did not go to Movistar, this would be a huge blow for the team, as they would be without their big bet. On the contrary, for INEOS, it would mean to continue having a great leader for next year's stage races, and the demonstration that the British team, after the departures of Tao Geoghegan Hart, Pavel Sivakov and other great riders, still trusts in the rider from Granada. All this according to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
It is worth remembering that Carlos Rodríguez has just finished an extraordinary Tour de France. At the age of 22, the Spaniard finished fifth in the overall classification, and also achieved a victory in stage 14 against Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard that will remain forever engraved in the memory of Spanish cycling.

santiagobenites12-11-2024 - Most of Cavendish's wins where off the back of a sprint train so ½ of the effort was already done...
leedorney12-11-2024 - Quite right, writing off Jonas for 2025 victory after what he still managed under the circumstances is a big mistake. Riders are probably peaking younger these days which means they may not last as long and we might have to stop expecting progress until early thirties.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- You only had to look at the faces of half the riders at the front to see what was going on. Looking to the side into tge crowds to hide their incapacity to stay serious and concentrated.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- Maybe the greatest sprinter on roads but not the greatest pure sprinter, I think that’d be the chap who consistently beats everyone almost all the time, who at 27 has already been world champion 16x, european champion 12x, amassed 5 olympic golds plus a bronze and is far from finished. He may not becomes the first ever person to average 80km/h in a sprint (without a lead-out) but no-one has got closer.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- If one can improve so can the other. The other day we were discussing Tadej’s leg shape change, if that is anything to go by, Jonas has plenty of potential left too.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- He should exit to free up.the budget for younger riders and help the team reach its full potential. Basically he is just taking from the team at this point because he cannot bring any new money in from his performances. I mean sure getting to live the life of a pro another year as a circus attraction of sorts might be fun but it's just gotten selfish the past 2 years.northcarolinaeric11-11-2024
- Pog is the modern day Merckx. And the best part is he is a very nice guy too!
ScottG11-11-2024 - ok, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with your perception. We talking informally about cycling, riders, who it's a pleasure to watch in more competitions, etc. Then we can't talk about nothing because all is hurting, all is incorrect..
