Netcompany INEOS Cycling Team

Race aggressively and "shape, not follow" the Tour: win the Barcelona opening team time trial with its TT armada, hunt stages, and keep a three-pronged GC presence via Arensman, Bernal and Vauquelin after new signing Oscar Onley's late health withdrawal.

Was
INEOS Grenadiers (rebranded 28 April 2026 when Danish tech firm Netcompany signed a five-year, ~€100m co-title deal; the new name and colours debuted at the Giro d'Italia on 8 May 2026 — the 'Grenadiers' name was dropped)

The 2026 kit

The kit worn in July 2026 is the rebranded Netcompany INEOS design, launched 28 April 2026 and raced from the Giro d'Italia (which began 8 May in Bulgaria) onwards, made by Gobik (Reactive 2.0 aero jersey). The jersey base is a pale, matte petrol green-grey — a light, desaturated greenish grey deliberately toned down from Netcompany's dark petrol-green corporate colour so it cannot be confused with the Tour de France's dark green Skoda points jersey; depending on the light it reads anywhere from light green-grey to plain matte grey or even blue-grey. Crucially, the jersey is largely MONOCHROME: collar, sleeves, shoulders and body are all the same pale green-grey, with no bold contrast trim on the shoulders, cuffs or collar. The main flash of team colour is on the back: a slim vertical stripe running down the centre of the spine — the heritage 'data stripe' motif carried over from Team Sky and the Grenadiers — in the team's bright orange, one of the only colour accents on the kit. Across the upper chest sits the title-sponsor lock-up: the lowercase 'netcompany' wordmark with 'INEOS' beneath it in the same dark lettering. Lower on the front, on the belly, is a crisp white rectangular panel housing the multicoloured TotalEnergies beam logo (red/orange/blue) and wordmark — a deliberately un-blended white box that is repeated on the back below the pockets (fans mocked it as looking like a cigarette). A small Gobik maker's mark sits near the sleeve/chest edge and a small Pinarello wordmark appears among the secondary logos. Bib shorts are traditional black (Gobik Lancer) — the light grey/off-white shorts of the team's early-2026 orange kit were dropped at the rebrand — with white 'Netcompany INEOS' lettering on the thigh. Note for illustration: Egan Bernal, the team's Tour leader, does NOT wear the team jersey — as reigning Colombian road champion (his second straight national title, won February 2026 in Zipaquirá) he wears a special-edition Gobik (Odyssey) Colombian champion's jersey in the yellow-blue-red of the Colombian flag, co-designed by Bernal as a retro tribute to the 1980s Café de Colombia team (Café de Colombia is an official team partner whose logo he carries), paired with the team's black shorts. Filippo Ganna, who won his seventh Italian TT title on 25 June 2026, wears the green-white-red Italian champion's tricolore skinsuit only in time-trial stages. (Before the rebrand, from January to April 2026, the team raced as INEOS Grenadiers in a bright fluorescent-orange jersey with a white drip-dye lower half carrying the TotalEnergies logo, and light grey/white Lancer Diamond shorts — that kit is obsolete by July.) No special Tour de France edition kit exists — the Netcompany kit debuted at the Giro is worn unchanged at the Tour.
