Former Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner on the radar of INEOS Grenadiers for 2025

INEOS Grenadiers continue to scoop around on the transfer market, looking for possible reinforcement for their once-famous mountain train. However with a clear challenger for Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard nowhere in the sight, there's only so much that can be done.
In the latest news reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, it appears that the team is on the verge of agreeing on a deal with Bob Jungels. After racing for three years at Trek Factory Racing (currently Lidl-Trek), spending five seasons at Quick-Step and two years at both; AG2R and BORA, Jungels should race for the British for unspecified period of time.
Once a Grand tour top-10 contender, the 31-year-old Luxembourger went through a series of injuries and illness couple years ago and never really returned to his pre-covid level. He spent last two seasons with BORA - hansgrohe (now rebranded to Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe), with whom he's due to complete the upcoming Tour de France.
Among the biggest successes of the fourteen-time National champion (6x road and 8x ITT) are victory at Liege-Bastogne-Liege (2018) and stages at Tour de France (2022) and Giro d'Italia (2017). His best GC campaign was in 2016 when then 23-year-old Jungels climbed to 6th overall at Giro d'Italia, winning the white jersey for best young rider in the process. The Luxembourger also briefly featured in a pink jersey that year.

- 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
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- 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
