Ineos’ backing of the WorldTour cycling team remains in place, although the squad has fallen short of its previous levels of success in recent seasons, with UAE Team Emirates-XRG and Visma | Lease a Bike now the standard bearers in the Grand Tours and beyond.
Ineos Grenadiers (and previous iteration Team Sky) won seven out of eight Tours de France between 2012 and 2019, but they have struggled to make anything like the same impact in the race in the 2020s. Their best results came when Richard Carapaz and Geraint Thomas placed third overall in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
The loss of Tom Pidcock to Q36.5 during the off-season seemed indicative of the drift at Ineos Grenadiers, but the team has shown some flashes of encouragement thus far in 2025, with Filippo Ganna shining early in the Spring and Egan Bernal placing a gritty 7th at the Giro d’Italia, his best Grand Tour display since his life-threatening crash in 2022.
Carlos Rodríguez will lead the team at the Tour de France, where Thomas is due to make his final appearance in the race.
