The announcements keep coming at Netcompany INEOS for the upcoming season: after yesterday's confirmation of the signings of Champoussin, Blackmore and Shaw, today comes the announcement of Riley Sheehan, who has signed a two-year contract.
The twenty-six-year-old American, who is thus closing his chapter with NSN, burst onto the international scene thanks to a high-profile victory at the Paris-Tours in 2023, becoming the first American to win the prestigious race.
He then consolidated this success by winning the Circuit de Wallonie and claiming the opening stage of this year's Czech Tour.
«Joining Netcompany INEOS is a dream come true. It's a team I've admired since I was a kid; being part of such a winning and respected organization is something truly special. I believe I still have a lot to achieve in my career and having the support of this team represents the ideal next step. I can't wait to get started, to set ambitious goals and give everything to contribute to the team's success, while continuing to push myself to become the best rider I can be».
Geraint Thomas, Director of Racing, commented: «Riley is an exciting rider. He's fast, technically very skilled and capable of performing well on different types of terrain. We believe he can be an excellent addition to our Classics group, but he's also an athlete who can contribute throughout the entire season. He brings great versatility with him and we can't wait to help him continue his development path».
