INEOS Grenadiers sign Oscar Onley ๐ค
The 23-year-old Scot joins from Team Picnic PostNL from the start of the 2026 season.
Onley finished fourth at the 2025 Tour de France and moves "after agreeing a transfer with his current team, Picnic PostNL", an INEOS Grenadiers statement said.
A Team Picnic PostNL statement said: "Team Picnic PostNL have agreed to the transfer of Oscar Onley. Following his fantastic Tour de France, the team received multiple offers for Oscarโs release, all of which were initially declined. However, a very late but appealing offer was made in recent days. While the team would have loved to keep Oscar for the remainder of his contract and beyond, the proposal was not one Oscar or the team could refuse and an agreement has now been reached."
INEOS Grenadiers Director of Racing Geraint Thomas said: โOur whole team has worked really hard over the winter to re-focus and re-set our ambition, changing our structures and processes to help us deliver against our goals. Oscar fits naturally with this project โ and Iโm confident the new system weโre building will help him achieve his absolute best."
Onley said: โI grew up watching Geraint, Dave and the team dominate the sport and put cycling on the map in the UK, so I am really proud to be joining the Grenadiers on a long-term deal, which will also mean racing for a British team when the Tour de France departs from Scotland in 2027.
โI want to thank Team Picnic PostNL for all their support, Iโm really proud of what we have achieved together. Iโll miss my friends in the team and hold the memories made with them close, and I know Iโll face tough competition from the next generation of talent they develop in the years to come.โ
