Netcompany Ineos was the last team to announce its roster for the Vuelta España: the reason? Simple, Josh Tarling. Just eight days ago, the young Welsh rider lost his younger brother Finlay in a tragic accident on the roads of the Volta a Portugal. The British team gave the necessary time to the young Welsh rider to think, reflect and decide. And in the end Tarling, who just a few weeks ago competed in his first Tour de France, has decided: he will be there.

Oscar Onley will lead a versatile and balanced Netcompany INEOS: the twenty-three-year-old Scottish rider will be supported by a strong and experienced group that includes Carlos Rodríguez, Jack Haig, Lucas Hamilton and the Vuelta debutant Embret Svestad-Bårdsen.

Time trial specialist Axel Laurance will also make his debut, along with Ben Turner, who claimed his first Grand Tour stage victory at the Vuelta in 2025.

Completing the roster is time trial specialist Josh Tarling, who returns to racing after his debut in 2024 and his recent participation in his first Tour de France.

Geraint Thomas, Sport Director, stated: "The Vuelta is a great opportunity for us to conclude the Grand Tours season on a high note. I have confidence in the team we will bring and in its ability to adapt to any surprises the race may hold over the next three weeks. It will be a tough race, as always happens at the Vuelta, but the team is united and eager to face it. This is Oscar's first Grand Tour participation with us and he is ambitious, enthusiastic and eager to race. He has had some setbacks this season, but his victory at Burgos proved that he has recovered well and that he has good legs. We know what he is capable of, so we are giving him the freedom to race and enjoy himself. It goes without saying that, as a team, we fully support Josh in his decision to participate in the race".

Oscar Onley stated: "I am really excited to participate in the Vuelta and my first Grand Tour with the team. We have a good mix of riders that gives us many opportunities during the race. Personally, I feel very good at the moment and I can't wait to test myself over the next few weeks!"

The Netcompany INEOS team roster is composed of:

Jack Haig, 32 years old, Australia. An established Grand Tour rider, Haig finished third at the 2021 Vuelta a España and brings with him race experience and climbing ability.

Lucas Hamilton, 30 years old, Australia. A rider who excels both in the mountains and on flat stages, his versatility and experience gained over three weeks of racing will be invaluable.

Axel Laurance, 25 years old, France. A versatile and combative rider, Laurance is capable of animating breakaways and playing a key role for the team on the hillier stages.

Oscar Onley, 23 years old, Great Britain. One of cycling's most promising young climbers, Onley claimed his first victory in Netcompany INEOS colors at the Vuelta a Burgos and arrives in Monaco ready to lead a team in a Grand Tour for the first time.

Carlos Rodríguez, 25 years old, Spain. A rider with authentic Grand Tour pedigree, Rodríguez will be one of the riders to watch in the mountains, determined to make his mark on the roads of home at the Vuelta a España.

Embret Svestad-Bårdsen, 23 years old, Norway. A talented young climber, signed for his potential in the general classification, Svestad-Bårdsen arrives fresh to his first Vuelta a España, having already raced the Giro d'Italia this year.

Ben Turner, 27 years old, Great Britain. A powerful and versatile rider, Turner is a key element on flat stages and those with crosswinds.

Joshua Tarling, 22 years old, Great Britain. One of the world's strongest time trialists, former European and national time trial champion, Tarling is an excellent resource for the individual time trial and valuable support in the mountains.
