Dave Brailsford looks to be headed back to cycling

Sir Dave Brailsford is stepping back from his day-to-day role at football club Manchester United and is expected to refocus the cycling team he once led to Tour de France dominance, according to a report in The Athletic.

Brailsford, who left his post as team principal of Ineos Grenadiers in early 2024, is now set to play a bigger role in guiding the team back to the top level of professional cycling. TotalEnergies is likely to come on as a co-sponsor and Brailsford is expected to help shape the future leadership, potentially alongside Geraint Thomas, who is likely to step into a management role post-retirement.

Brailsford's return marks a renewed push by Ineos to revive its cycling ambitions after years of subpar results.
