Ineos Grenadiers sports director Imanol Erviti has given a resounding thumbs-up to the return of Dave Brailsford in a more leading role in the squad mid-way through last year.

Widely viewed as the mastermind behind British Cycling's Olympic success and then the dominance of Team Sky (now Ineos Grenadiers) in the Tour de France, the longstanding team manager's renewed focus on Ineos began on a public level last July during the Tour.
