Jumbo-Visma complete signing of INEOS Grenadiers prospect Ben Tulett

Transfers & Negotiations. After the rumours began to swirl in the past couple of days, various sources have confirmed the news. Jumbo-Visma have acquired Ben Tulett from the INEOS Grenadiers.

On only Monday evening, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Jumbo-Visma were interested in the 21-year-old British rider. Now according to WielerFlits, sources have confirmed that a deal has been struck and the recent Tour of Norway winner will be wearing Yellow and Black next season.

The continued progression of Jumbo-Visma to look to cast an eye to the future of their team continues. With Matteo Jorgenson also coming in at the end of the year when his Movistar Team contract comes to an end, the Dutch-based team already have the likes of Attila Valter, Thomas Gloag and the recent winner of the Baby Giro, Johannes Staune-Mittet.

For the INEOS Grenadiers, the loss of Tulett could be a big blow. The team now longer holds the same standing in the peloton as it has had in recent years and is a far way removed from the heyday of their Grand Tour dominance with Chris Froome. With Tao Geoghegan Hart's contract also still up in the air, many questions surround the future plans of the team.
