Not sure if it's good or bad for him ? It's going to be tough to be the chosen one for a few riders at Ineos next season. I think Tao is another...didn't exactly shine this year.

Also Roger Hammond, currently Performance Director at Bahrain...some performance aswell 😁 is apparently ‘mulling’ over an offer to join Ineos.

I reckon there going to have to give a massive cash bonus if you get to the end of your contract 🙄

Benoot was on a 2-year contract starting 2020, so it's not an early departure, but a non-renewal on one side or the other.

Last summer Tiesj Benoot extended his contract with Team DSM (then Sunweb) until the end of 2022. But an irreparable rift has developed in recent weeks and the marriage does not seem to last. Several sources confirm to WielerFlit s that both parties are sitting around the table to split up early. Benoot is now looking for a new team.
