INEOS lose under-23 talent to EF Education-EasyPost
EF Education-EasyPost in the meantime, after announcing the signings of Iván Sosa and Tobias Bayer in quick succession, have managed to pull off a strong move in the market.
“Nicolas is going to add some real power to the team,” team CEO Jonathan Vaughters said in the press release. "He’s coming off a win at the under-23 Chrono des Nations and finished first in the time trial at the Olympia’s Tour and second in the under-23 time trial world championship".
Nicolas Milesi, a rider for Netcompany INEOS' development team, was a medalist at the recent under-23 time trial World Championships and winner of the under-23 Chrono des Nations. The Italian is one of the top specialists in development.
"Nicolas is a winner on the road, too, with a fast finishing kick. I think he is going to be one of the most exciting young riders in the WorldTour next year. We’re looking forward to watching him develop.”
“In the summer, I started talking to EF Education-EasyPost, and what was clear was that this team was an excellent opportunity for my progression and development as a rider," Milesi said.
"I could immediately see that they believed in my ability, and that had a big impact on my decision to join. I wanted to step up and join the WorldTour, and I’m really happy with my decision for the next few years. The team looks really exciting from the outside, and I've really enjoyed watching how they work and race on the road. The environment looks excellent for me".
The 22-year old will turn pro with the American team, with whom he's signed a three-year deal with. “I want to discover more races, bigger races, and then aim for a grand tour start in the future. I want to see what I can do at the next level in the WorldTour with EF Education-EasyPost".
"I’ll keep working on my time trial, and I want to keep progressing and be competitive at the highest level. And I know a few Italians on the team. I know Roberto Capello from the U23 team and, of course, Vincenzo Albanese from our time together at Arkéa".

- My point is this - Tadej, Remco, Seixas are all the outliers. Many riders don’t hit their peak until 28. It’s way too early to write him off. And the pogi slo guy that hates him - he’s also immature. Ayuso needs time.mij13-11-2026

Del toro climbed(dauphine) better numbers than jonas did all year too. So ur feelings and wishful thinking doesnt amtter del toro himself has already surpassed jonas infact just facts.
