It appears Ineos Grenadiers have chosen to shun their sponsor correctness obligations once again, as, with just a day to go until the Tour de France begins, riders from the team have been spotted using the new Peak 4550 wheels from Princeton Carbonworks. 

The team have done very little to hide the brand and model of wheel they're using, with the Launch Edition wheels getting a particularly loud graphic and the 'Peak 4550' wordmark emblazoned across the sidewall of the rim.
