A day of announcements and news at Netcompany INEOS: this morning the news of the signing of young Spanish talent Markel Beloki, and today the "double" with the arrival of Colombian climber Harold Tejada. The twenty-nine-year-old South American, who will significantly strengthen the team's climbing capabilities and depth of roster for stage races, arrives with extensive WorldTour experience and notable results achieved at the highest levels.

Among these stands out a beautiful stage victory at Paris-Nice at the beginning of this year, as well as the fourth place in the general classification of the UAE Tour and the tenth at the Vuelta a España of this season.

Harold Tejada comments: «I am thrilled about this new chapter with Netcompany INEOS. Since I started cycling, I have always considered this team a point of reference in our sport. I remember with great admiration riders like Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas, Egan Bernal, Rigoberto Urán and Sergio Henao. It is a team with an incredible history, strong values and enormous respect within the group. Being part of this story is a special opportunity and great motivation to continue giving my best. I am grateful for the trust the team has placed in me. I can't wait to continue growing as a cyclist, learning from the people around me and working every day to achieve our goals. I am ready to give everything».

The team's thoughts are entrusted to Geraint Thomas: «Harold is a strong and solid climber, with great experience. In recent years he has been consistently a protagonist at high levels and will be valuable support for our captains competing in the general classifications. He enriches our group of climbers and gives us more options in the mountains; he will therefore be a truly important addition to the team and we are excited to start working with him».
