Ineos-Konya Torku Şekerspor is going to slap so hard.

Ineos Ginger Beers?

What's all this lovey dovey, warm and fuzzy bs from Ineos about Pidcock, and Pidcock about Ineos? Drop the cr*p and give us why Pidcock left!

"I think it's as simple as the word compatibility"

Bollo*ks!

I can't remember what podcast it was, but they predicted this is the last season for Ineos.

CEO John Allert said,

We've appointed an agency and we're looking at commercial partnership opportunities, like most other teams are.

"I can confirm that the team will exist into the next (2026-2028 WorldTour) cycle," John Allert, the Ineos Grenadiers CEO said, when Cyclingnews asked about the team's future during a media video call with team management.

So 3 more years, then ...

It sounds like when sports team owners announce their backing of the incumbent coach or manager.

Who knows? Maybe the Saudis will take over instead of throwing money at the OneCycling hoopla.

I remember when they first having success there were rumours about another British WT team, sponsored by another big British company.

I'd be willing to bet any 2nd sponsor won't be British.

Ganna beating Remco's KOM

Thermonuclear for San-Remo I think, 7.3W/Kg, must be about 600 watts for 10 minutes?

Most probably using a different calculation (65kg) given that seems way too high but I'm going with it anyway. Completely in the bag.

I understand that WB Discovery are expecting to increase their income stream by the end of next month: might they be interested?

Ineos have done the dirty on the NZRFU and pulled out of their contract with 3 years to go.

Is the cycling team next?

I believe that they own the cycling team, so not as straightforward legally, I suspect.

The Ratcliffe empire seems to be drowing in its debt pile:

Red flags raised after debts soar at Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s chemicals empire

Ratings agencies downgraded outlook for Ineos Group to ‘negative’ as tycoon’s sporting interests also hit crisis point

It's only a matter of time before Ratboy starts paying his riders with Man Utd shop vouchers

Spent all the money he had on langelotti's wages

Caleb Ewan's first race will be at the legendary Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, none of that juvenile Belgian one day nonsense they hold at the end of February or some absurd 'Tour of Australia' that should be cancelled because of the extreme weather protocol. Good man Caleb

If only there was another Italian race around about the same time that was highly prestigious and suited Ewen. Maybe even one that he has already multiple podoums in? Would make sense for him to ride such a race, if it exists

Maybe that's the plan all along, catch Van der poel and Pogacar on the backfoot with a last minute announcement, force them to shelve all their careful preparation.

Ganna making the front 3 shaking his head and pointing backwards sorry lads I've got Caleb in the group behind.
