Netcompany-Ineos have revealed their squad for the 2026 Tour de France, becoming the penultimate team to confirm their selection.

Marquee winter signing Oscar Onley is absent after sustaining a significant shoulder injury in a crash on stage 6 of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The British team signed Onley following his fourth-place finish at the 2025 Tour de France, with the 23-year-old expected to lead the team’s general classification challenge in 2026. Medical examinations after his crash confirmed that he would not recover in time for the Tour.

Fellow winter signing Kévin Vauquelin will line up for the British squad after an impressive 2025 Tour, where he finished seventh overall as the highest-placed French rider.

The Frenchman heads to Barcelona looking to make a similar impact as last summer, arriving with a recent 15th-place finish at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes under his belt.

The squad also includes three riders who competed at the Giro d’Italia in May.

Thymen Arensman returns to the Tour following a spectacular 2025 edition, during which he won stages in both the Alps and the Pyrenees.

He is joined by 2019 Tour champion Egan Bernal, who supported Arensman at the Giro while finishing tenth overall. The Colombian champion returns to the Tour after a one-year absence.

Filippo Ganna completes the trio of riders who competed at the Giro. After crashing out with concussion on stage 1 of last year’s Tour, the Italian arrives in strong form following a Giro time trial victory.

He is expected to play a crucial role in the opening-stage team time trial in Barcelona on July 4.

Former French champion Dorian Godon will make his first Tour appearance in the team’s colours after a successful season. He has won stages at Paris-Nice, the Volta a Catalunya and the Tour de Romandie.

Joshua Tarling was involved in a separate crash on the same stage of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes as Onley. Tarling was forced to abandon the race with a fractured collarbone, but a rapid recovery means the former Giro stage winner is able to make his Tour debut.

Former road race world champion Michał Kwiatkowski and former time trial world champion Tobias Foss complete the Netcompany-Ineos squad.

Kwiatkowski has ridden the Tour ten times and won stages in 2020 and 2023.

Former Tour de l’Avenir winner Foss made his Tour debut for the British team last summer. He arrives in good form after finishing fourth at the Tour de Suisse and winning his national time trial title for the fourth time.
