New Tour of Britain race director Rod Ellingworth has heaped praise on his former team, Ineos Grenadiers, at the Giro d’Italia, saying the team is "riding superbly well.”

Present on the Giro through an invitation from the organiser to gain greater insight into elements of the running of the Italian Grand Tour and their potential application in the Tour of Britain, Ellingworth was ideally placed to offer analysis of the race and his former squad’s first week performance.
