The Ineos Grenadiers and Dorian Godon are winning – a lot

Ineos Grenadiers have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in the early 2024 season, already accumulating a significant number of victories by the first week of May. The British WorldTour outfit is reportedly just one WorldTour win shy of their entire 2023 tally, marking a substantial improvement in their competitive output. This impressive haul includes contributions from riders like Dorian Godon, highlighting a broader team effort rather than reliance on a single star.

This early-season success is particularly noteworthy given Ineos's recent struggles to dominate Grand Tours and major Classics, a stark contrast to their Sky era hegemony. After a relatively lean 2023, where their win count lagged behind rivals, this uptick suggests a potential tactical shift or a return to form for key riders. It provides a much-needed morale boost and could signal their intent to re-establish themselves at the sharp end of the peloton, especially with critical Grand Tours on the horizon.

While the sheer volume of wins is encouraging, the true test will be translating this early momentum into victories at cycling's most prestigious events. Quantity is one thing; quality in May is another entirely.
