INEOS Grenadiers are heavily investing in young riders and this Thursday, only a few days before the start of 2024, they officially announce the signing of 18-year old Theodor Storm straight for the junior ranks.
āThis is the perfect team for me; its focus on the future, and being completely performance-led is ideal for me and hugely exciting. This move will also allow me to focus on the upcoming Olympics with the Danish national team, while still learning about the sport at the highest level as a Grenadier," Storm said in a press release. "I canāt wait to get to know all the staff and riders, and get stuck into the hard work.āI know the team has huge ambitions for the future and Iām keen to contribute however I can to help achieve their goals. The INEOS Grenadiers feels like the perfect fit for me.ā
Despite being only 17 at the time, Storm raced the Track European Championships back in February alongside the Elites. On the road he's also taken several wins in the junior ranks, throughout Denmark but not only. His talent is apparent, and in a team that already pays a lot of attention to the track with riders such as Filippo Ganna and Elia Viviani to name a few, Storm will fit in an environment that has similar ambitions to his. āTheodorās a very exciting young talent with enormous potential, who will add further depth to the impressive pool of talent we have built," team CEO John Allert added.
"There is an increasing trend for young riders to step up straight into the World Tour, however weāre conscious that these athletes also need the right support to develop and perform to their potential. Our structured pathway approach will give Theodor every resource and opportunity to continue on the impressive trajectory heās already established. āWeāre all looking forward to getting to know and work with Theodor, and to building a bright and successful future together. Weāre delighted to welcome him to the INEOS Grenadiers.ā

- So if I understand right, they both overtook the 2nd amateur on the descent? The video is showing before, after or includes that overtaking?Mistermaumau29-01-2026

- WTF is this fool Denk talking about??? Remco is younger then Pogi? He's a year and a half younger, to be more exact, he's only 16 months younger from Pogi. I find the opinion of Remco, Redbull and other foolish farmers from Belgium fascinating: "If the winter goes perfectly for Remco he will be on Pogacar's level." No, he won't. Pogi will keep on winning again and again. there is not even 1% chance to beat the GOAT š !!!NikkoNicco29-01-2026
- Maybe, Iām just putting out possibilities in a very light story. Considering both amateurs had ample opportunity to exchange in depth with the media reporter, it seems they didnāt have all that much to say in the way of specifics. And the first rider who seemed so keen on getting his side of the latter part out somehow didnāt find the first part of any public interest. Did they overtake the 2nd amateur at some point? Is that explained/deductable or visible in the video? How long is the video and does it show the crash?Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Maybe (together with the previous ones this month) just a warning to allow them to consider abandoning any plans? Who promised to deliver a top tier rider?Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Is that what you see in the video? Then even my opinion of his humbleness was too lenient.Mistermaumau29-01-2026

- The second rider's account added a bit of context where there had been little, so people would want to read it. There's nothing to suggest that Jonas thought the two riders were together; it was a busy road.Hills3329-01-2026
- That may be so but he probably canāt say tgst as it could be considered breach of contract if he was signed up for team/JV duties, in which case we might never know because he wonāt want to take the risk of having to pay like WVA. I donāt think anyone knows what was promised but he accepted a pay reduction and could easily have continued at Jayco. To be honest, I donāt think ANYBODY was still counting on him winning a GT at that time, hence why heād never got any interesting offers before. And then it happenedMistermaumau29-01-2026
- If thatās your starting pount then in the article situation Itās not a matter of equality whatsoever because that person wouldnāt tag along with everyone (let alone film it) you he is targeting a specific person to follow which in fact means HE is guilty of creating inequality by considering that person is worth following more than some other random person. This is getting like the free speech absolutist trying to shut up people who reply against them.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
