Ethan Hayter, Luke Plapp and Geraint Thomas headline win-oriented INEOS Grenadiers at Tour Down Under
Cycling
INEOS Grenadiers are starting off their season in Australia in search of big wins. After his storming success at the national championships, Luke Plapp will be among a strong lineup for the British team which also includes Ethan Hayter and Geraint Thomas.
Plapp is now a two-time national champion and is coming in with good form towards the race. The lineup of INEOS is very diverse and with immense depth with the Australian being only one weapon. Traditionally with calmer starts to the season, but Tour de France podium finisher Geraint Thomas will also be an important figure.
Ethan Hayter comes in as a very strong contender for the GC aswell, having very strong time-trialing skills and perfect attributes to climb and sprint towards bonus seconds throughout the race. His brother Leo Hayter will be making his debut with the British team in Australia.
American youngster Magnus Sheffield should also be a big fan of the hilly terrain which will be on display. The team is complete by Ben Swift and Kim Heiduk who will be providing support.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
