Ineos have announced the heavily rumoured partnering up with Total Energies, and they have also announced the signing, from 2027, of Benjamin Noval - mentioned recently I think.

The INEOS Grenadiers Cycling Team has today announced a jersey partnership with leading global integrated energy company, TotalEnergies.

The sponsorship agreement builds on the strong existing industrial relationship between the team’s owners, INEOS, and TotalEnergies, and reflects their shared passion for professional cycling.

John Allert, INEOS Grenadiers CEO, said: “We are proud to announce this new jersey partnership, which marks an important milestone in the close relationship between INEOS Grenadiers and TotalEnergies in elite cycling. It provides us with the opportunity to pursue our shared goals and ambitions at the highest level of the sport we love — competing at the top while developing the next generation of world-class riders.

Mildly interesting that Ineos have announced that they are partnering with Adidas now for the 'off bike' clothing. Previously this was Belstaff that's owned by Ineos. Adidas isnt, obvs.

What does that mean for the team formerly known as Europcar? Are they losing their sponsor? Are Ineos going to become Team Ineos Grenadiers Total Energies?

TotalEnergies will remain TotalEnergies for next season, this is why Ineos have bodged the sponsorship issue with having them as a "jersey sponsor". Long term then TotalEnergies will become a name sponsor most likely, no idea what happens to "Ineos" in that

So then will Team TotalEnergies join Arkea-B&B up the creek without a sponsor?

Tough times for mediocre French teams.

Probably reeling at the news that they're not going to get that daytime ITV2 exposure next year.

Hopefully the Donkey Sanctuary will step up and fill the funding void with the money they're saving.

So much so, that they have sold their very last (bib) shorts to Red Bull Bora. 😉

New Ineos jersey is out. Looks like they devolved design responsibility to the work experience kid.

 

[CarbonClem]

Its the absolute basics isnt it?

 

[cyberknight]

apparently the total energies team will continue as a separate entity , as they are not a main sponsor with ineos this is supposed to be within the rules.

 

[cyberknight]

Rabobank has been listed as a co sponsor for visma too while were at it .

Looks like the alien ghost of Peter Sagan is going to explode out of G's stomach.

Adidas having a big push esp with the Oasis tour and that 2 min advert

Mutterings about a Remco move (again)
