Market: INEOS' Ben Tulett could well be on his way to Jumbo-Visma

INEOS Grenadiers have lost quite a lot of leaders last year, several of them towards direct rival teams. The same could be happening this winter, there are good chances that Ben Tulett will be leaving the British team and Jumbo-Visma is the most likely destination.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport's Ciro Scognamiglio, the Briton has several teams interested in him. The 21-year old's contract already ends this season after he was signed back in 2022. A pro since 2020, he quickly showed talent with Alpecin-Deceuninck, at the time combining the road and cyclocross simultaneously. Ever since he's been primarily putting his efforts on the road, where he's been quite successful.
An interesting mix of puncheur and time-trialist, the Briton has already taken several wins throughout his stint in INEOS. He's won a stage at the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali last year before making his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d'Italia, and this year he's taken up a leading role more often, having finished second in the recent Tour de Hongrie, quickly followed by a stage and GC win at the Tour of Norway.
He's most likely targeting the Vuelta a Espana later this year, however the Italian Autumn classics will be a good match for his skills. At Jumbo-Visma he could have a similar role, but he would continue to be joined by compatriot Thomas Gloag.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
