LONDON – The cycling team known as Team Sky when winning six Tour de France titles from 2012-2018 changed its name again.
The team announced its second name change in 15 months on Wednesday.
Sky became Team Ineos before Egan Bernal’s victory in the 2019 race. Bernal followed Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas as winners for the Britain-based team.
The team said in a statement it will be known as Ineos Grenadiers when the delayed Tour opens on August 29.
