Highly promising junior rider Benjamín Noval will ride for the INEOS Grenadiers from 2027 following the completion of his junior programme.
The teenage talent from Asturias in Spain currently rides for the MMR Cycling Academy and has emerged as one of the sport’s most exciting young riders and future stars. The son of former pro Benjamín Noval, the 16-year-old has been turning heads on the junior circuit with his natural racing instincts, climbing strength, tactical intelligence and maturity.
Noval has racked up a series of impressive wins in 2025 including the GC and youth classifications at both Vuelta Ciclista al Besaya and GP F.W.R Baron, as well as strong performances at other races including Paris-Roubaix Juniors.
With an impressive natural ability and a passion and dedication for performance well beyond his years, Noval is one of the most promising young riders in the sport and his trajectory marks him as a future standout rider in the professional ranks.
INEOS Grenadiers will continue to work closely with Benjamín and his support network over the coming seasons to ensure he arrives at the WorldTour fully prepared and ready to make his mark on the biggest stage.
Benjamín Noval said: “Joining the INEOS Grenadiers is a dream come true for me. This is one of the best cycling teams in the world and I’m very happy to join its ranks so they can help me develop my qualities to their full extent. I want to thank the team for believing in me, and I hope to pay them back in the near future."
Scott Drawer, Performance Director at INEOS Grenadiers, said: “Benjamín has all the hallmarks of a rider who can develop into something very special. He’s intelligent on the bike and driven off it, and he has already shown a real edge in competitive environments. We’re excited to support his transition to the WorldTour and look forward to helping him fulfil his potential within our performance system.”
John Allert, CEO of INEOS Grenadiers, added: “At the heart of our team is a belief in long-term development and investing in the next generation of talent. Benjamín represents that future - and we're delighted he’s chosen to grow and develop with us. The foundations we will put in place for him ahead of 2027 will be designed to support performance but also his growth as an athlete and individual.”
