INEOS starlet Joshua Tarling reportedly set for Giro d'Italia debut in 2025
Cycling
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.

- Interesting suggestion, fo you think testing Tadej’s (or Bolts’ or so many others’) parents would have given us a preview of his potential then or what criteria do you have to pick parents with?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- Even amateur teams suffer this sort. But this is also largely due to the precarious sponsorship, in very few sports do you find kit with so many sponsors having to be integrated and changing so regularly.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- I think it’s pretty obvious what was responsible for destroying interest that used to be there.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- This has been stated repeatedly, MVDP for CX, road and if it already counts, gravel. Lavreysen for track. I expect as a cycling fan you’ve heard of them?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024
- What super dutch talent are we talking about?awp18-12-2024
