INEOS Grenadiers: A WorldTour Powerhouse

INEOS Grenadiers stands as one of professional cycling's most dominant and well-funded teams. Founded in 2010 as Team Sky, the British squad has amassed an incredible palmares including multiple Tour de France victories with riders like Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas, and Egan Bernal.

The team rebranded to INEOS Grenadiers in 2020 after petrochemical giant INEOS took over as title sponsor. Under the leadership of Sir Dave Brailsford, the team has consistently attracted top talent and invested heavily in marginal gains philosophy that revolutionized professional cycling.

A Radical Departure for 2026

Today, INEOS Grenadiers unveiled their kit for the 2026 season, and it represents a radical departure from their iconic styling. The new kit is predominantly white—a dramatic shift from the all-black aesthetic that defined the Team Sky era and carried through the early INEOS years.

Gone is the menacing black that became synonymous with Tour de France dominance during the Froome years. The new white kit, paired with greyish shorts, signals a new chapter for the British squad. It's a bold visual statement that marks a clear break from the past.

A Storied Tradition of White Kits

INEOS joins a distinguished lineage of teams that have raced in predominantly white colors. HTC-Highroad, the powerhouse squad that featured Mark Cavendish during his peak sprinting years, dominated in their clean white kit from 2008-2011, winning countless stages across the Grand Tours.

Skil-Shimano, another memorable team in white, served as a development squad that launched careers of riders who would go on to WorldTour success. The Dutch team's white and red colors were a familiar sight in the peloton throughout the late 2000s.

Française des Jeux (now Groupama-FDJ) also spent years racing in predominantly white before transitioning to their current blue identity. The French squad's white era saw success in both one-day races and stage races.

Kit Details

The new kit maintains the prominent INEOS branding and the team's signature burgundy accents. The jersey continues the minimalist design philosophy the team has embraced, while the new greyish shorts add a modern touch to the overall ensemble.

Bioracer continues as the team's kit supplier, crafting the technical garments that will be worn throughout the grueling WorldTour calendar.

Looking Ahead to 2026

With a roster that includes established stars and emerging talents, INEOS Grenadiers will be looking to make a statement in 2026. The new kit will be on display across all three Grand Tours and the biggest one-day races on the calendar as the team continues their pursuit of cycling's biggest prizes.
