Team Ineos Discussion thread

[Izzyeviel]

I like Ned, and I like his writing alot, alot more than his broadcasting for sure, but I dont know where he is going with this article, I mean its like almost hey remember I was picked to be something important 15 years ago !!! because people with cameras were so hard to come by back then, and that they picked that 2010 version of the kit as the best one I dread to think what the alternatives were like

If you dont like the new kit, fine, but btw suggest how you could have merged the two brands better if you are going to criticise it in a piece like this, and always always remember there are worse kit sponsor options out there, just like this...

Well the point is, Ineos/sky used to really care about all the small details. Now its all 'that'll do' attitude.

Where is the fashion police when you need it?

Such horrible things would never be allowed in Italy. Giro>Tour.

Have you SEEN some of the Italian ProConti kits of the last 25 years?

I don't know what you're talking about, these are all beautiful.

I can't explain how much I disliked those dozen of ugly kits. dear me, the jerseys, helmets, bike paints and so on in these last 30 years ahah. the latest ugly was the green and purple Bardiani of 2-3 years ago

Okay, I am really confused about Peter Øxenberg! More specifically, his contractual situation (apart from having moved officially to Ineos):
It appears Kern-Haus is actually not a devo-team for Ineos in the usual sense; Ineos-management never really seems to have treated K-H as such, I think it was for the Baby Giro they used the phrase "Peter Øxeberg, and the Lotto Kern-Haus boys".
I'm guessing Ineos has their reasons for not just signing him on as a stagiare - It was the agreement from the beginning of the year? They're actually planning on sending him to one of the lesser WT races? - why that weird gap, where his contract with K-H apparently ended on 29/6?

Any news on Josh Tarling?
He hasn't raced since his crash in the Giro.

Ineos team for 2026 is still just 20 guys and half of which are 21 or younger so who's the big new star (now that Remco has escaped from Sir Dave's advances). I think Ayuso would be a greatly amusing addition and passes in Ineos's desperation to find the next GT winner.

5 of 20 = 50% is some RedheadDane level maths.

 

[Rob5091]

It's the all new quantum Danish math sytem which all the top analysts and number crunching geeks on Wall Street are using - all the old fashioned stuff of adding, subtracting etc has gone out the window. Reality is what you make it!

Please, let it be known that I do in fact know that 5 of 20 is not 50%!

I'd think you'd say it's Sir Dave's maths

When Sir Jim's footing the bill, Sir Dave does n't care about maths!

Sadly, I think it's time for Ineos to pull the plug on Bernal as a GC team leader. For whatever reason it's just not there any more.

Time to buy Ayuso!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ineos has had a very dull Vuelta so far, offering almost nothing to the race. Hopefully this approach is not linked to Brailsfraud being back.
The model used in the Giro is much preferred, now its just drip drip, drip, with the tank being empty at the end without having done anything.
And yes, the parcours doesn't offer a lot, but still the point still stand imo.

 

[Rob5091]

Sending first Kwia and now Jungels off in the break is not getting any results. I suppose they hope Ganna can get a win in the ITT.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well, Ineos won't get a result out of sending Jungels in a break on a stage to Angliru....
Gotta pick the right battles with the material at hand.
Again I'm saying this knowing that UAE has won 7 stages and the route offers very little.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Well at least they have won a stage in each grand tour this year.

Hes on the startlist in Super 8 on 20th Sept.

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

One word from me and Egan springs to life! Anyway, nice to see.

Ben Turner looks very Bri‘ish and Victor Langellotti looks 40 years old.
