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

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.

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
