The handshakes between the key stakeholders at the launch of Netcompany-Ineos said it all. When the CEO of Netcompany, André Rogaczewski, team principal of what was Ineos Grenadiers, Sir Dave Brailsford, and the team's CEO, John Allert connected on stage there was a force behind the gesture. All three exuded confidence that this was the right partnership, and belief in the five year project.
Netcompany-Ineos is alive, and will be in public from the start of the Giro d'Italia next Friday. There's new funding, a new grey jersey, and a new AI-powered platform, PULSE, from the Danish IT company to play with. There's also an official return for Brailsford, publicly acknowledged as the team's principal for the first time since he rejoined last year.
