Netcompany INEOS can confirm the signing of Riley Sheehan, who will join the team next season on a two-year deal.
The 26-year-old burst onto the international stage with a breakthrough victory at Paris-Tours in 2023, becoming the first American to win the prestigious race.
He has continued to build on that success, adding victories at Circuit de Wallonie and taking the opening stage of this year’s Czech Tour.
Riley Sheehan said: “Joining Netcompany INEOS is a dream come true. It’s a team I’ve looked up to since I was young, and to now be part of such a successful and respected organisation is incredibly special.
“I believe I still have so much more to achieve in my career, and having the backing of this team is the perfect next step for me.
“I’m excited to get started, set ambitious goals and give everything I have to help the team win, while continuing to push myself to become the best rider I can be.”
Geraint Thomas, Director of Racing, said: “Riley is an exciting rider. He’s fast, technically very skilled and has the ability to perform across a range of terrain.
“We see him being a great addition to our Classics group, but he’s also a rider who can contribute right across the calendar. He brings plenty of versatility to the team, and we’re looking forward to helping him continue to develop.”
