organization

Team Sky has participated in road bike races with a license as a ProTeam since the 2010 season. The team’s name- giving main sponsor was British Sky Broadcasting . The team is with wheels of the brand Pinarello equipped apparel sponsor since the season 2017, the Italian company Castelli.

The team management is closely linked to the British cycling association British Cycling . Several board members, including BC President Brian Cookson , work for Team Sky and Tour Racing Limited , which operates the team and is owned by Sky plc .

The team, which was particularly successful in the Grand Tours , always proclaimed a zero tolerance policy towards doping , but was more often itself suspected. In particular, the use of exemptions for the use of performance-enhancing substances, the commitment of the doctor involved in the Rabobank team's doping scandal and the treatment of Chris Froome's positive doping test at the Vuelta a España 2017 were criticized.

In December 2018, the main sponsor Sky announced that it would withdraw as the main sponsor at the end of 2019. This also affected the British Cycling Association , for which Sky was also the main sponsor. Even 21st Century Fox also withdrew as a sponsor. The team operator Tour Racing Limited was then taken over by the British chemical company Ineos with effect from May 1, 2019 , which, as the main sponsor, also gave the team its name.

When the team started for the first time at the Tour de Yorkshire , on home soil, opponents of fracking gave them a whistle . The team's new owner, Jim Ratcliffe, is one of the two largest fracking investors on the island. According to environmentalists, 40 percent of Yorkshire is approved for fracking, and Ratcliffes Ineos holds a large proportion of the licenses.
