INEOS Grenadiers are having several of their main riders leaving, with announcements over the last few weeks, but they are set to take in some reinforcement as Arkéa Samsic's Connor Swift seems to be a done deal with the team.
Swift has risen up from the British continental scene but found his first top-level contract at Arkéa Samsic where he became a main domestique for Nairo Quintana - already with three Tour de France presences - and put himself out there as a quality classic rider, having taken wins at the Tro Bro-Léon and Tour Poitou - Charentes in 2021. Swift has been an important part of the French team which is set to rise into World Tour level in the coming year.

Swift however seems to be guarranteed to climb into the first division of road cycling, as both his current team and his likely future team will feature in it. Having a newly-found focus on young British talents, INEOS Grenadiers are seeking to guarrantee another of the country's best.
Swift will be joining his cousin Ben Swift at the team, and is another British signing alongsid the likes of Leo Hayter and Joshua Tarling who will also be representing the team from 2023 onwards.

- What’s more, I think luxury is more the writers opinion than any objective evaluation, it certainly isn’t big and compared to many places not even costly (sou ds great in Kroner though). If I had to estimate, I’d say in value, Jonas’ 5 houses probably just about manage to equal Tadej’s apartment.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I don’t call the writers here journalists, they are at best paid posters, no more knowledgable than many of us. I certainly don’t agree with everything they say or portray but I do understand they have to provoke to make their hitherto business model sustainable. And as it isn’t possible to discuss with them, it’s more interesting, rewarding and instructive to pick points to discuss with people willing to engage. I choose and have my own reasons for positive of negative opinions on riders and engage when someone disagrees on those, not interested in engaging on other reasons. What I agree with or don’t is pretty irrelevant though, I think you’ll agree JV gets his fair share of lifestyle criticism (also here) so why should TP be exempt? Do you think he comes off worse?Mistermaumau11-01-2026

- Not exactly a recent development, been known in elite sports for decades and cycling since years : « Approximately one in five professional cycling athletes will eventually develop a sport-related vascular problem. However, detecting such flow limitation is a diagnostic challenge as the sensitivity of the currently available standard diagnostic tools is limited. «Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Unfortunately, that is sounding more and more like a plausible explanation to this situation.
