Oscar Onley will join INEOS Grenadiers during the off-season, just days after the team officially launched its Racing Academy — an ambitious development project with a strong focus on British talent. The Manchester-based outfit have now gone a step further by securing the signing of the fourth-place finisher at the 2025 Tour de France, who arrives from Picnic PostNL. At just 23 years of age, the British rider embodies both the present and the future of the INEOS project, as the team looks to reconnect with its national identity while restoring long-term credibility on the Grand Tour stage.

Over recent years, the American collegiate system has become an increasingly attractive pathway for young British talents. The latest to make the move is Kishi Aremu, who, drawn by the quality of facilities, scientific support and the highly competitive nature of the NCAA, will cross the Atlantic to continue the early stages of her career.

With the Milan–Cortina 2026 Olympic Games now just weeks away, Team GB has never appeared to possess such a broad pool of athletes capable of competing at the sharp end on the international stage. Recent results in alpine skiing, snowboarding, freeski and skeleton paint a far more ambitious picture than that of recent Olympic cycles. At the Beijing Games in 2022, Great Britain left China with two medals — one gold and one silver, both in curling — and a 17th-place finish in the overall medal table, identical to its ranking at the previous Read more Read More

The project had been in the pipeline for several months, and it is now official. INEOS Grenadiers, one of the leading teams in the professional peloton, have confirmed the launch of their development squad ahead of the 2026 season. The inaugural intake will consist of twelve riders, five of whom are British, with one striking feature immediately standing out: the sheer diversity of profiles. Track specialists sit alongside former mountain bikers, experienced Continental riders line up next to juniors still learning their trade, and one of them has already enjoyed a brief spell as a world record holder.
