The British team Ineos Grenadier has announced this Friday the signing for the next season of the Australian Richie Porte, the Colombian Daniel Felipe Martnez, the British Tom Pidcock and the Belgian Laurens de Plus, who join the well-known English Adam Yates.
Dave Brailsford, team manager, explained that in view of the evolution of cycling and the power of the different teams they have focused on making a stronger team. Hence the arrival of established runners and promising youngsters.
He considered that Porte’s third place in the Tour de France “proved once again that he is one of the best riders in the international peloton”. “He’s a world-class climber, he time-trial and if you’re making a team to be competitive you always want him by your side,” he said.
Regarding Daniel Felipe Martnez, he commented that they have been following him “for many seasons”, since, he admitted, he impressed them “from a very young age and after his recent performances everyone can see why the team is so excited.”
“He had a fantastic race on the Dauphine and proved again what he is made of with his stage victory on the Tour. He is a world-class tenacious climber who also handles well in time trials. We want Dani to continue with his successes and be a key part of our future team, “he noted.
“I have made progress in the last few seasons and I have been very lucky with the support I have had, but the opportunity to race for Ineos was too good not to take advantage of it. I think it is the right time to try to take my career to the next level and I am highly motivated to learn from the best in the world. Obviously I know Egan and some of the other guys on the team as well, so it will be nice to continue racing with some compatriots, “commented the Colombian.
Brailsford explained that Pidcock “is one of the most promising young riders in world cycling and is part of a new era of incredible talent in every way that comes from a multidisciplinary background.” “We are witnessing a new trend in cycling, with the appearance of young riders. Tom’s career attests to this. He has competed at the highest level in various disciplines and is a winner.”
They also indicated that they are “especially pleased to add a broker of Lauren’s ability (from Plus),” and want to support him in “developing and reaching his full potential both individually and as part of the team. He is a determined man and is willing to work hard to get where you want to go. “
Continuous evolution.
