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.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026
- bummer - he was fun to watch and was young. had a lot left in him.mij09-01-2026
- What a fairytale day! Everything fell into place.mhfrvz09-01-2026
- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
