Netcompany Ineos add climbers Markel Beloki and Harold Tejada as Sam Welsford exits after just one season

Netcompany Ineos is pivoting its roster strategy for 2027 by signing climbing specialists Markel Beloki and Harold Tejada to bolster their Grand Tour ambitions. The team, which has struggled to secure a three-week race victory since 2021, hopes these additions will help restore their historical dominance in stage racing.

Meanwhile, sprinter Sam Welsford is departing the squad after a single season to join Jayco-AlUla on a two-year contract. Welsford's exit follows a campaign that yielded limited top-10 finishes despite an early win at the Tour Down Under.
