Last Saturday, the news that Egan Bernal is aiming to be the leader of INEOS Grenadiers for the Giro d'Italia 2025 was broken. It now seems that the former Tour de France and Giro winning Colombian will have support from one of the best time-trialists on the planet in his quest to get back to Grand Tour winning ways.
Along with the goal of seeing Bernal shine again in a grand tour, next season's Giro d'Italia continues to take shape for INEOS. As revealed by the respected La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Ciro Scognamiglio in his latest report, former European time trial champion Joshua Tarling is set for a Giro d'Italia debut in the coming year.
According to our sources, Giro d'Italia 2025 participation is a strong option on the table for Egan Bernal, winner of 2021 edition," Scognamiglio says on his official X account. "For INEOS Grenadiers, also Joshua Tarling is likely to compete in next Giro d'Italia edition."
The 20-year-old Welshman (21 by the time the 2025 Giro d'Italia arrives) is currently considered one of the great promises of world cycling. So far he has proven to be one of the best time trialists in the world. Despite his young age, Tarling has already been European time trial champion (2023), twice British champion (2023 and 2024), winner of the Chrono des Nations (2023) and bronze in the World Time Trial (2023).
His Grand Tour debut came earlier this year at the 2024 Vuelta a Espana. However, it didn't go completely to plan for Tarling as he missed out on the victory in the opening stage time trial and eventually abandoned ahead of stage 9. If the rumour of his presence at the Giro d'Italia is confirmed, the INEOS powerhouse will be hoping to fare a little better in his second Grand Tour.

- Somehow it has got into his mind that he is a GC rider. He is primarily a classics and stage rider who can perform on GC given his day. As a result he is wasting his time on TDF GC and once committed to GC you are too tired to do anything else.abstractengineer10-11-2026

- This is such a black eye to women's professional cyclocross if this result remains. Marie Schreiber won this race fairly. This finish is not unlike others in cyclocross. Lots of moving around to get to the finish not to cut anyone off , but to generate a sprint on soft wide tires caked with mud and sand. This is not nearly the same as a road race between two riders sprinting to the finish on faster bikes and thinner firmer tires. The powers in charge need to use some common sense, reverse this result and remember this is Cyclocross not Road racing. Unbelievable. . .Zencycle09-11-2026

Rafionain-Glas09-11-2026 - again, nothing is going to be resolved. it is a discussion board. I simply said I didn't see how MS impeded LBs sprint. the UCI doesn't care about my thoughts, and I am really not that emotionally invested in it.mij09-11-2026
- provoke change, lol. this is a discussion board. nothing is going to change by what I say here. just commenting that it didn't look like MS impeded Brand. beyond that not trying to go too deep.mij09-11-2026
