Netcompany INEOS reshuffles Tour de France roster amid injuries and form concerns
British WorldTour team Netcompany INEOS (formerly INEOS Grenadiers) is revising its line‑up for the upcoming Tour de France after a series of setbacks. Oscar Onley has withdrawn following a shoulder injury sustained in a fall, while Kevin Vauquelin is missing the race due to illness contracted during the Tour Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes. With the team's original general‑classification hopes reduced, attention has shifted to Carlos Rodríguez as the primary contender for overall placement.
The roster changes also open possibilities for other riders. Dutch rider Thymen Arensman, fresh from a fourth‑place finish at the Giro d'Italia, and former Tour champion Egan Bernal are being considered for selection. In addition, Norwegian time‑trial world champion Tobias Foss, who joined the squad after a stint with Visma | Lease a Bike, has shown strong recent form—fourth in the Tour de Suisse and multiple national titles—making him a potential inclusion for the French Grand Départ.
Final decisions on the eight‑rider squad are expected in the coming days, with the team balancing stage‑win ambitions against the reduced pool of GC riders.
