Some exciting news to start the day… 🤩 We’re thrilled to welcome highly sought-after Danish talent Peter Øxenberg to the INEOS Grenadiers from January 2025 🤝
The 18-year-old Dane who broke Coll de Rates record signs with INEOS Grenadiers

Another young rider is set to take their first steps among professionals in 2025. Currently 18-year-old Dane Peter Oxenberg agreed to a three-year deal with the British formation. Øxenberg impressed this year with 2nd place at U23 Eschborn-Frankfurt and a stage win at Orlen Nations (2.NC).
Øxenberg said in a press release: "I came to cycling quite late but everyone knows this team and the talent it has. It’s a super professional set up and everyone has been really welcoming. It’s been great to see how the team works with young riders over the years and helps them to perform at the highest level. It gave me a lot of confidence when I came to sign with the team."

What can we expect from Øxenberg? "I’m still quite young and discovering a lot about myself and how I can perform at my best. I’ve enjoyed the climbing I’ve done in races and I really love time trialling. I think that can be one of my strongest areas. I want to improve everywhere and learn as much as I can. I know I’m in the place to do that."
With riders like Jonas Vingegaard and Mads Pedersen carrying the flag of the Kingdom high in the peloton, many young riders in the country try to follow in the footsteps, just like Øxenberg: "Cycling is huge in Denmark. It’s super competitive and it’s hard to win any race there. The level is really high and I’m excited to become part of this big Danish group of riders in the WorldTour."

Performance Director Scott Drawer said: "It’s a real coup for us to secure Peter’s signing as there was significant interest in him across the peloton. We’re thrilled he’s joining our team to take his first steps as a professional bike rider. He’s already had some excellent results, in only a short time in the sport, and many would also have seen his effort and that of his team on Coll de Rates which was very impressive. Peter’s young, ambitious and hugely talented, and will fall under the guidance of our internal Ascent programme which includes the likes of Josh Tarling, Magnus Sheffield, AJ August and others."

- Interesting suggestion, fo you think testing Tadej’s (or Bolts’ or so many others’) parents would have given us a preview of his potential then or what criteria do you have to pick parents with?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- Even amateur teams suffer this sort. But this is also largely due to the precarious sponsorship, in very few sports do you find kit with so many sponsors having to be integrated and changing so regularly.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- I think it’s pretty obvious what was responsible for destroying interest that used to be there.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- This has been stated repeatedly, MVDP for CX, road and if it already counts, gravel. Lavreysen for track. I expect as a cycling fan you’ve heard of them?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024
- What super dutch talent are we talking about?awp18-12-2024
- Yes, 25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership.awp18-12-2024
