Cycling team Ineos Grenadiers have signed French multi-discipline bicycle racer Pauline Ferrand-Prévot for the 2023 season. Ferrand-Prévot is the first female rider to ever be signed by the team as general manager Dave Brailsford seeks to diversify from their roots in road cycling.
The 30-year-old is a multiple-time world champion, having won eight mountain bike world titles and three cyclo-cross National Championships.
Ineos Grenadiers are a British cycling team that compete at the UCI WorldTeam level. Managed by Brailsford, the team were launched in 2010 and formerly known as Team Sky up until 2019.
Brailsford initially wanted to win the Tour de France with a British driver inside five years and did so after just two, when Bradley Wiggins stormed to victory.
