Riis says Netcompany-Ineos would be a 'dream team' for Vingegaard

Tour de France winner and former team manager Bjarne Riis says the new partnership between Netcompany and Ineos, announced formally this week, creates a new superpower in the sport. Potentially, it's one that Jonas Vingegaard should take a closer look at. "Right now it would be a dream team for Jonas," Riis told BT. "The best team he could join if he wants to challenge Pogačar. I'm not saying he'll make the switch, but he has to consider it." Riis was blunt about Visma-Lease a Bike's prospects: "The last few years they've mostly let go of important domestiques for Jonas. If they had the muscle Ineos is about to have, they could have challenged Pogačar." Netcompany CEO André Rogaczewski told journalists at the new-look team's launch in London on Tuesday that the ambition is to win the Tour de France within five years. Ineos, formerly Team Sky, have won the race seven times.
