The INEOS Grenadiers are delighted to confirm that Ethan Hayter has signed a new contract until the end of the 2024 season.
The 23-year-old Brit and freshly-crowned Tour de Pologne winner has shown fantastic progression since turning pro with the team in 2020, already amassing 16 victories in the professional ranks.
Whether winning from bunch sprints, reduced groups, time trials or even solo on uphill finishes, Hayter has marked himself out as one of cycling’s most exciting all-round young talents and will continue his development with the Grenadiers.
Hayter will be joined by his younger brother Leo on the team later this season, and full time from 2023. The pair form part of an exciting, expanding core of young British talent at the heart of the Grenadiers.
Ethan said: “I am really proud to extend my contract with the team and keep racing as a Grenadier. The goal is clear – to kick on and win more WorldTour races, have a go at the World Champs and get some Grand Tours under my belt. I believe I am in the best environment to continue winning over the coming seasons.”
The two-time reigning British national time trial champion has made strides at WorldTour level in 2022 and has put himself in position to make his Grand Tour debut at the upcoming Vuelta a Espana. An Olympic silver medallist from Tokyo 2022, Hayter is also targeting future success on the track, in line with the team’s commitment to supporting a growing roster of multi-discipline athletes.
Deputy Team Principal Rod Ellingworth can’t wait to watch Hayter’s continued progression: “Ethan is one of those riders who quite often flies under the radar, which is incredible considering the palmares he already has to his name. He’s at the forefront of the young group we are building here and we have been delighted with his development and attitude. I’m so excited about what he can go on to achieve in the sport and it will be great to see him racing alongside his brother Leo.”
