In 2023 INEOS Grenadiers achieved 36 victories, as the fourth team in World Tour with more wins. However, this season has been more complicated for the British team, with only 14 victories, had the worst season in its history.
Problems attack an INEOS that trusts the talent of Carlos Rodríguez (23) to replace Geraint Thomas (38) as leader of the grand tours. In addition, it also has world-class runners such as Egan Bernal, Filippo Ganna or Tom Pidcockwhich should strengthen the British squad next season. But now the environment within the team is far from being optimal to work with guarantees. Pidcock’s continuation after his controversial exclusion from the Giro de Lombardia is up in the air and his departure will be a serious blow.
The latest to fuel the controversy is Ethan Hayter. The Briton, at INEOS since 2020, will compete in 2025 in Soudal Quick-Step. Hayter He had a cautious year, with only one victory in his country’s road championship.
In an interview with Eurosportthe 26-year-old Briton has made it clear that “it has been difficult to work with them. And once they know that I’m leaving, it’s even more so.” Hayter He acknowledged that “to be honest I don’t know what’s going on in there. I wish them the best for next year, but they could use a couple of changes.”
