Performance director Scott Drawer said he "spent six months listening, observing, and working with the team to determine what's needed to set ourselves up for excellence for 2025 and beyond." He emphasized that his analysis covered every aspect of their operations, revealing the necessity for improvements in training, racer support, and competitive strategies in a sport that continually evolves.
To enhance performance, the team has strategically restructured into three main areas: Grand Tours and Stage Racing, Classics and One Day Racing, and Future Talent. This restructuring reflects a targeted approach to coaching, with an increased focus on time trials, sprint development, and endurance training, branding a shift towards more scientifically-informed racing.
The arrival of Dr. Mehdi Kordi signals a focus on performance innovation, given his successful history with the Dutch national team and emphasis on maximizing athlete potential in high-stakes competition. Coupled with the hiring of Tom Helleman as Lead Performance Coach, the team aims to bolster its expertise to reclaim its dominance in the cycling world.
Recognizing the departure of key personnel, Ineos has elevated Dr. Luca Oggiano to the role of Director of Research and Development, reputed for engineering Filippo Ganna's record. This decision underscores the team's commitment to invest in new talent critical for engineering advancements and technical improvements essential for their competitive edge.
