Surely Ineos must have known about Onely, and the other great British talents coming through?
Their recruitment strategy is baffling. Caleb anyone?

Matthew Brennan & Joe Blackmore are talented youngsters…it’s almost as if they’re being advised against joining Ineos.

Ineos have no direct development squad prior to this year and it was never their strategy . So most of the junior riders were signed for Conti teams.

I’m going to really miss the ITV coverage and it’s very sad to see it go, and I’ve always enjoyed Gary Imlach’s presenting style and Ned Boulting’s commentary. Not sure I’ll be paying to watch it, in the future.

They just wait, watch and throw money at potential future greats… it kind of worked when Sky, but not anymore… others have equal funding (and more) and even if not, not enough to errode the loyalty to those that got them to the level to make them desirable.
Even if it did work, they pick up a quality rider, they ruin them by not having understood them and developed them.
