On the final chime of New Year’s Eve, Ben Granger will become a pro cyclist for the first time in his career, as he begins a two-year contract with Toscana Nippo Rali, the Italian team formerly known as Solution Tech-Vini Fantini.
The deal marks another step-up in the Brit's now five-year journey of living and racing in Italy. In 2025, the 25-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season, in which he won the UK’s prestigious Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic, riding for Continental team MG.K Vis. Granger was also previously part of Zappi, the academy that gave rise to WorldTour pros Tom Pidcock, Ben Healy and Paul Double.
