Ineos Grenadiers has confirmed that Ethan Hayter will remain with the team through 2024 after signing a contract extension.

The 23-year-old Hayter turned pro with the British team in 2020 and has 16 Giro dell'Appennino, Tour of Norway, and British time trial titles, including stages at the Volta ao Algarve, Vuelta a Andalucia, and Tour de Romandie He has won.

He is having his best season yet with six wins this year, including two stages at Romandie and a breakthrough at the World Tour level, including an overall win at the Tour de Pollogne last week.

"I am proud to extend my contract with the team and to continue racing as a Grenadier. The goal is clear: to win more World Tour races, compete in the World Championships, and win a Grand Tour," Hayter said in an Ineos Grenadier press release.

"I believe I am in the best possible environment to continue winning in the coming seasons.

Last Friday, Hayter took the overall win at the Tour de Pollogne. Although he missed out on a stage win, his consistent results and a top-three finish in the hilly time trial put him 11 seconds ahead of Tymén Arensmann, who is rumored to be moving to Ineos next season.

The versatile Londoner is a fast finisher who also does time trials and is strong in the mountains. He also excels in intermediate mountains, as he has proven in the last two Algarve and Andalusia.

He has yet to make his Grand Tour debut, but is set to do so at the upcoming Vuelta a España, where the Ineos team will include Richard Calapaz, Pavel Sibakov, and Carlos Rodriguez, also making his Grand Tour debut.

"Ethan is one of those riders who often flies under the radar, which is incredible considering the palma he already has," said Rod Ellingworth, vice president of Ineos Grenadiers.

"He is at the forefront of the young group we are building here and we are pleased with his development and attitude. I'm very excited to see what he can accomplish in this sport and it will be great to see him race with his brother Leo."

Hayter is part of an impressive group of young riders that Ineos has built over the past few seasons. The diverse talent of star rider Tom Pidcock, the classics' relevé Ben Turner, Brabants Pile winner Magnus Sheffield, Australian road champion Luke Plapp, Rodriguez, and Ben Tourette are just a few of the exciting under-23 riders.

Next season, Hayter's younger brother, U23 Giro d'Italia champion Leo, will step up after joining as a stagiaire rider from Hagens Berman Axion.
