Taking advantage of the rest day of the Tour de France 2024 after the first week of competition, INEOS Grenadiers have been busy renewing the contracts of their riders.
37-year-old Spanish veteran Jonathan Castroviejo has signed for one more season, until the end of 2025, and his stay at INEOS will therefore extend into his eighth year with the team. Connor Swift has also extended terms with the British based outfit, keeping him with the team until the end of the 2026 season.
“I’m super happy to have signed again with the team. It’s been something that we’ve been working on this year and it feels good to have everything sorted and to have clarity for next season. I wanted to stay with the team and it makes me happy to know I’ll be here for another year," begins Castroviejo in the official statement published on the INEOS Grenadiers website.
“It’s an environment where I feel happy, valued and where we always work well together. Every year, the level of racing gets higher which means you always need to improve and it’s good to be able to do that here," he adds. “This team is full of young talent and riders that have a bright future in cycling, and it’s rewarding to be here helping and advising them where I can. It feels like the team is going in a good direction and it’s nice to be a part of the mindset of getting back to winning the Tour again.”
“I feel like I have settled into the team nicely over the last couple years and I always wanted to stay here. I enjoy being part of a team that always strives to win every race and has that all-in approach every time we line up," says Connor Swift. “My goals for the next two seasons are to have strong and successful Spring Classics campaigns, be part of the Team’s Tour de France squad, and look to get that stripy nationals jersey back on my shoulders again. They are goals that I know will push and drive me, and if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from being with my Grenadier teammates, it’s never give up and always believe in yourself. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next two seasons hold.”

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
