The riders who have won the most in INEOS Grenadiers' long history - Froome, Wiggins, Pidcock...
Cycling
INEOS Grenadiers, or as it used to be called until 2018, Team Sky, was created in 2010. Throughout its 16 seasons of existence, a few riders stood out, and a few have won a lot - both in quantity and quality. Take the likes of Chris Froome or Bradley Wiggins, or more recent figures such as Filippo Ganna and Egan Bernal... We take a look at who were the riders that have won the most during their time with the British team.
The one that tops the charts, in quantity and quality, is of course, Chris Froome. The Briton simply takes the crown on both aspects taking into consideration how he has won the Tour de France on four occasions, the Vuelta a España on two and also has a Giro d'Italia title to his name. He has multiple stage wins in all Grand Tours as well as multiple GC wins in the very prestigious Criterium du Dauphiné, often termed the 'mini Tour'. Froome takes the top of the charts and has been part of 48 victories - twice winning team time trials, adding to his 46 pro wins.
In second place surprisingly is a rider that doesn't have as many years with the team, or isn't as closely linked to it: Filippo Ganna. But the Italian is a proven winner and for several years the best time trialist in the world. He was the one that got away for UAE, and after joining INEOS he became the time trialiing superpower he is today. Up to the 2025 season, he has taken 34 wins in the INEOS jersey, many of them wearing a World, European or national title.
In third place we have a tie between two Tour de France winners: Bradley Wiggins and Geraint Thomas. Both have extreme importance to the team, with Wiggins being the first rider of the team to win the Tour de France, and winning often in his shorter term with the team. Geraint Thomas has spent his entire pro career with the British team, and the only rider who has been present in its entire existence. He has also won the Tour de France in 2018, both having won 27 times for the team.

Edvald Boasson Hagen was the fifth top winner in the team, although he was only part of it between the 2010 and 2014 seasons. In five years, he averaged five victories per season, taking him close to the top of the charts. This included big ones too, including triumphs at the Tour de France, Renewi Tour, Bretagne Classic and Hamburg Cyclassics.
Making it to the list are also Elia Viviani with 23, Michal Kwiatkowski with 22, Ethan Hayter with 20, Egan Bernal and Richie Porte who are tied with 19 to close out the Top10.

Rúben SilvaEditor-in-Chief
A founding contributor to CyclingUpToDate since its launch in January 2022, Ruben Silva has played a central role in shaping the site’s editorial direction and long-term growth. Before joining the project, he built his experience through independent blogging at Echelons Hub and by producing race previews for Ciclismo Internacional, developing a strong analytical voice rooted in daily engagement with professional cycling.
Beyond editorial work, he has been closely involved in the expansion and coordination of CyclingUpToDate’s wider network, helping establish and support sister platforms across multiple languages. This includes ongoing collaboration with CiclismoAlDia (Spanish), CiclismoAtual (Portuguese), WielrennenUpToDate (Dutch), and RadsportAktuell (German), contributing to a shared editorial vision and consistent international coverage.
He also helps oversee editorial governance across the network, setting standards for accuracy and consistency and coordinating updates or corrections when needed.
Originally from the Porto metropolitan area in Portugal, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Geography. His path into cycling journalism was shaped not through formal media training, but through independent reporting, community engagement, and sustained on-the-ground involvement in the sport.
Over the course of his career, he has conducted approximately 100 interviews across road cycling and cyclocross, ranging from one-to-one conversations and online formats to press conferences and on-site pre- and post-race coverage. His interviews include leading riders, team managers, and prominent figures within cycling media: Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Mathieu van der Poel, Primoz Roglic, Wout van Aert, Joao Almeida and Tom Pidcock; managers like Patrick Lefevere and Joxean Matxin; and YouTube personality Bryan Kennedy (BKXC)...
Within 18 months of launch, he helped grow CyclingUpToDate’s English-language platform into one of the most-read cycling news websites, built entirely from the ground up. As both a professional journalist and lifelong cycling enthusiast, his focus remains on delivering accurate, timely, and well-contextualized coverage.

- Which is amazing given his weight and size, though, unlike in boxing and some rare instances we haven’t a clue what his fighting weight was. Anybody know why these “public” figures floated around are considered as being accurate?Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
- That’s a first point, everyone can have an off year or just stagnate before a new upward cycle. What would have been more interesting is including Skjelmose’s performance into the discussion, things have also been expected from him after several performances in the past but he hasn’t really progressed either, his TdF was basically what you would have expected but he’s 26 and been kind of stuck at this level for at least 2-3 years. Maybe he’s a late developer or maybe he needs something to change but as manager I’d be just as demanding and worried about both. Perhaps the recruitment concept was to have enough talent so at least one every year would be in shape and they’ve just been unlucky. Don’t want to rub it in but you could even say Mads lost a notch, so is it the riders or is it more to do with the team?Jumpyjohn12-11-2026
- Bingo...I was also going to say that young pretty women are obsessed Pogi fan girls... who are chasing him. All glossy "____" (blank) about Tadej. PS: You can all fill in the "blank" yourselves, whatever you prefer. The definition of glossy is: It looks unusually shiny, glazed over, watery, or vacant/unfocused.PogiSloFans12-11-2026

- PogiSloFansUpToDate: The Tadej Pogačar Foundation has awarded scholarships for the 2026/2027 school and academic year in Slovenia. It received more than 60 applications from young people who have faced cancer, and all of them were approved. This year, Pogi's Foundation has therefore signed scholarship agreements with 63 recipients, totalling €166,000. This is almost double last year’s amount, when it awarded 35 scholarships worth €94,000. Pogačar: "We believe in you and your dreams. Now I’m cheering for you."PogiSloFans12-11-2026
