Norwegian press: Tobias Foss reportedly waiting for Evenepoel to join INEOS before deciding his future
Cycling
According to the Norwegian newspaper Landevei, former world time trial champion Tobias Foss may not know where he will race in 2024 because of his successor in the rainbow, Remco Evenepoel.
Thus, the Nordic colleagues claim that the possibility of the Belgian eventually leaving Soudal Quick-Step for INEOS is the key reason why the Norwegian has not yet signed for any team for 2024: "Probably because of Remco Evenepoel's pending mega-transfer to INEOS Grenadiers."
Remco Evenepoel has hinted in an interview with Lanterne Rouge that he "probably will" stay with Quick Step because "a contract is a contract". In the interview, he talks about the signing of Mikel Landa and what he hopes will be more signings by the Belgian team. In other words, it seems that he is staying, but it is also true that he has not stated this with absolute certainty.
So, meanwhile, as we mentioned, Landevei's colleagues want to link the possible future of Foss to that of Evenepoel. According to them, the Norwegian would arrive at INEOS as a possible luxury domestique of Remco;
INEOS is letting riders go in recent days (Vlasov, Tao, Tulett, Martinez) and some analysts interpret that they are generating salary and market space in order to dare Evenepoel.
What is certain is that, as of today, this is nothing more than speculation. What we can say is that Remco Evenepoel, as long as no one goes and pays his clause (if it exists) will remain with Quick-Step. So, we'll see what happens with a Tobias Foss who hasn't had a great season at Jumbo and who looks like he's going to leave. We'll see if he goes to INEOS...

Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - i did not see it. was the relegation justified or an overly hard decision? and don‘t cross riders deviate from straight lines all the time? bumping into each others when they cut corners, etc … why being more strict with the rules on the finish sprint?Ketterechts08-11-2026

Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And we, what are we doing?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
