Cycling: Known as the Ineos Grenadiers since the 2020 Tour de France, the British team will probably be even stronger in 2021. We take a look at the transfers and the possible destinations of the former team Sky.

Ineos Grenadiers 2020: Someone always steps in

wins from Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome stayed away in 2020. And also Egan Bernal could not build on his successes from the previous year. The defending champion went down in the Tour de France. Nevertheless, the team management of Ineos Grenadiers can look back on a successful season. 20 victories and 39 further podium places can be shown. Provided a lot of joy Tao Geoghegan Hart. The Briton sensationally won the Giro d'Italia and two stages. Filippo Gana celebrated three times in Italy and became world champion in the time trial. Richard Carapaz narrowly missed out on overall victory at the Vuelta a Espana.

Transfers: Top drivers move up

In the Ineos Grenadiers team you don't have to worry in the future either. Despite the departure of Chris Froome and the career ends of Ian Stannard and Christian knees the team remains the top address in cycling. The experienced one joins the team as a noble helper richie porte, who finally made it onto the podium at the 2020 Tour de France. of Belgium Laurens DePlus will also be one of the top helpers in the peloton in the high mountains. You can probably pursue your own ambitions Adam Yates. The Brit can focus on hilly one-day races as well as overall rankings in tours. But probably the best obligation is Daniel Martínez. The Colombian is still young, has a lot of potential and dreams of an overall victory in a Grand Tour. Top talent has been around for quite some time Thomas Pidcock. The 21-year-old also recently impressed in cyclocross. At Ineos Grenadiers he should now gain a foothold in road cycling and establish himself as quickly as possible.

Ineos Grenadiers 2021: It gets even better

The goals of Ineos Grenadiers are clear: victories, victories, victories. Especially in the three big country tours you want to play the first fiddle again. Jumbo - Visma's attack must be repelled. It should not fail because of the staff. With Geraint Thomas, Richard Carapaz, Egan Bernal and Tao Geoghegan Hart you already have four Grand Tour winners in your squad. Also Richie Porte, Rohan Dennis, Daniel Martinez and Adam Yates is always capable of a top placement in an overall ranking. With Pavel Shivakov and Ivan Sosa there are also two 23-year-olds under contract who could quickly take the next step. But Ineos Grenadiers doesn't just want to ride at the front on tours. Even in difficult one-day races you can send a few co-favorites into the race. Michal Kwiatkowski and Gianni moscon are good for strong results. And with Filippo Gana is considered the best time trialist in the world. Ineos Grenadiers will not be short of successes in 2021 either.
