OFFICIAL | INEOS Grenadiers signs new climber towards 2026 season - It's neither Onley or Gee

INEOS Grenadiers have signed their 28th rider for the 2026 season. Oscar Onley, Derek Gee and Sam Welsford continue to not be in the squad, meaning of them is certainly not joining. Instead, the British team has confirmed the transfer of Jack Haig from Bahrain - Victorious.
Haig is present at the team's training camp in Spain currently, as is Welsford. However as it seems, their situation is not the same, and the Australian climber came in with a contract already to be signed.
“I raced wheel to wheel against Jack for many years and he’s always impressed me," Geraint Thomas said in a press release. "He’s a fighter and a grafter, and he knows what it takes to stand on the podium at a Grand Tour. I’m sure he’ll be a big part of what we’re going after in the next few years.”
Haig moves away from Bahrain - Victorious after five seasons. After having moved away from Team Jayco AlUla, he found his best legs with the Bahraini team, achieving a podium at the 2021 Vuelta a España. He was a strong stage-racer in his prime, but since the 2022 season, his performance hasn't been as high. This year he failed to make an impact in the World Tour and suffered a concussion in a crash at the Tour de France which took him out. He now signs a two-year deal with the British team.

“I’m really excited to be joining the INEOS Grenadiers. It’s a team I’ve followed closely since it started, and they’ve achieved so many great things in their history," Haig said. "To now be part of one of the best and most ambitious teams in the world, known for its professionalism and extremely high standards, is something I’m super proud of".
This move could spark Haig's season back up once again, and the British team gains another climber towards its block. “I can’t wait to get the season started, meet my new teammates, and play my part in challenging for future successes. I’m also looking forward to supporting some of the talented young guys who’ve joined the team," he concluded.

- I think Paul Magnier was the most impressive improvement last year. I think will be ready to beat those guys. 🤔
PAULO08-12-2025 - Madiot probably would get no attention if he simply agreed that Pog is the GOAT (still debatable vs Eddy, and only Eddy comes close imo). No, this is a contrarian view to get a little coverage online, reminding everyone he hasn’t died yet, much like the other former racers who turn up in these articles. Fun fact: madiot declared women’s racing to be “ugly and unaesthetic” further underpinning why no one should pay attention to him at all.Crashjames08-12-2025
- Since the 1920's, post BalfourDeclaration attacks on the Semitic Palestinians grew slowly up to ~ 1938. The Balfour Declaration was an unofficial promise to the Zionists of the Mandate Palestine land. Why unofficial? The letter by Lord Balfour was not signed on official stationary , which would have the H.R.M. Seal. The "gift" was fraudulent! The immigration of European Jews, ALL not Semites, began the militaristic and terroristic occupation of Palestinian lands, butressed by The WW2 "winners" which was reluctant to intervene due to the Nurenberg Trials, as the narrative of a genocide was fresh in everyone's minds. The oppression began ~ 100 years ago; the severe barbarity ~ 80 years ago, culminating in the 100,000+ ethnic cleansing/genocide of the real owners of the Semitic lands of Palestine at present. It was very hard to take watching pro racing with the Israel team competing. Good Riddance!bike-anarkist08-12-2025

- The "occupation" in Gaza had lasted from 1967 to 2005, making it at most two generations. The Hamas is a Jihad organization sworn to a holy war against Infidels whether they are Jews, Christian, Hindu or in worship of the flying spaghetti monster, even Muslims themselves. It is part of the global Muslim Brotherhood movement founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago (and banned since) which advocate an agenda to speared Islam across the world, educationally, financially, politically and finally if needed in violent manners. It's very vocal in Jordan and other places, and in ties power in Turkey and Qatar. They even don't acknowledge Jews right to have their own country and calls for their eradication (a view which is now popular and legitimate considered legitimate thanks to social media influence campaigns and others). Arabs in Israel have civil rights which you hardly can say about any other Muslim country in the world (as for discrimination, one can argue, as I've no idea). The fact the you cite Hamas cheap propaganda says maybe you are pro Hamas after all.BM07-12-2025

- There is no real point, both are avoiding giving the explanation that most more observant and interested spectators have long since understood.Mistermaumau07-12-2025
- NOBODY here is pro Hamas but Hamas is the RESULT of 4 generations of occupation, theft, discrimination, war crimes and the international community’s resistance to imposing a lasting solution, which sorry but if someone had some balls and will, would be pretty easy to start in weeks and build on as things would calm down and simplify. North and South Korea have managed avoiding war for almost as long as this has lasted.Mistermaumau07-12-2025
