Arensman commits to INEOS Grenadiers until 2027

Talented young Dutch rider Thymen Arensman has reconfirmed his commitment to the INEOS Grenadiers by signing a three-year contract extension that will see him race for the team until the end of 2027.

The 24 year old became a Grenadier in 2023 and has since developed his credentials as a Grand Tour rider, finishing in 6th place at the Giro in both 2023 and 2024.

The hugely promising GC racer is looking to build on this trajectory and continue his progression with the team he feels can best support his ambitions. 

Arensman said: “I am really happy to extend with INEOS and it was a very easy decision to make for me. I have been a Grenadier for two years, and am really happy and settled here. I have great people around me who understand my body and help me to get the best out of myself.

“I know that mentally and physically, I perform better with stability, so it’s great to know that this will be my home for the next three years.” 

Building on the roster of highly talented young riders in the team, Scott Drawer, Performance Director, was full of praise for the 24 year old. Drawer said: “Thymen is a super talented young rider who has played a key role in two Grand Tours for the team already. He has developed and learnt a lot over the last two seasons and I know he will continue to play a big part in the future success of the team.  

“He is keen to learn, committed, ambitious and wants to push himself to be a leader and podium at a Grand Tour himself one day. We are all excited to continue to support Thymen, helping him to reach his full potential and see what he is capable of.”
