Trek - Segafredo interested in Tao Geoghegan Hart with his INEOS contract in its final year
CyclingMonday, 22 May 2023 at 17:00
After crashing out of the 2023 Giro d'Italia, Tao Geoghegan Hart may have ridden his final Grand Tour for the INEOS Grenadiers. With his contract expiring at the end of the year, the 28-year-old is attracting interest from Trek - Segafredo.
In a report in La Gazzetta dello Sport, the well-informed journalist Ciro Scognamiglio reveals that his sources tell him that Trek - Segafredo are very interested in bringing the 2020 Giro d'Italia winner to the team and they see him as the perfect man to lead them in their hunt for Grand Tour success.
At this current point in time, Trek - Segafredo are without a real general classification contender for the Grand Tours with Giulio Ciccone currently their best hope. Instead the American-based team prefers to hunt for breakaway stage wins through the likes of Bauke Mollema, Toms Skujins and Quinn Simmons plus in sprints through Mads Pedersen.
The bringing in of a proven Grand Tour winner such as Tao Geoghegan Hart would be a clear change of tactics for Trek - Segafredo although any deal may prove unlikely as the INEOS Grenadiers are reportedly very keen to tie the British rider down on a longer deal.

- What’s more, I think luxury is more the writers opinion than any objective evaluation, it certainly isn’t big and compared to many places not even costly (sou ds great in Kroner though). If I had to estimate, I’d say in value, Jonas’ 5 houses probably just about manage to equal Tadej’s apartment.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I don’t call the writers here journalists, they are at best paid posters, no more knowledgable than many of us. I certainly don’t agree with everything they say or portray but I do understand they have to provoke to make their hitherto business model sustainable. And as it isn’t possible to discuss with them, it’s more interesting, rewarding and instructive to pick points to discuss with people willing to engage. I choose and have my own reasons for positive of negative opinions on riders and engage when someone disagrees on those, not interested in engaging on other reasons. What I agree with or don’t is pretty irrelevant though, I think you’ll agree JV gets his fair share of lifestyle criticism (also here) so why should TP be exempt? Do you think he comes off worse?Mistermaumau11-01-2026

- Not exactly a recent development, been known in elite sports for decades and cycling since years : « Approximately one in five professional cycling athletes will eventually develop a sport-related vascular problem. However, detecting such flow limitation is a diagnostic challenge as the sensitivity of the currently available standard diagnostic tools is limited. «Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Unfortunately, that is sounding more and more like a plausible explanation to this situation.

- it is too simple to base improvement on points alone. Quick-Step lost a lot of points but might gain more wins and are shifting their focus. Juan Ayuso might be addition by subtraction. and Ineos picked up a lot of points. Onley gets a boatload for being 4th in the Tour. but who’s racing for 4th place?!?!?mij11-01-2026
- All very sad. But you seem to be backing the journalists in generally demonising Tadej and canonising Jonas. This article is interesting though, and suggests Jonas is making very good financial decisions, acquiring luxury homes that he and his family are enjoying living in, and staying near family (also now in luxury homes) who can help with the kids. Sounds like a great lifestyle, and not a basis for critising Pog's decisions.Hills3311-01-2026
