Ben Swift will retire at the end of 2026, closing out 18 years at WorldTour level with Netcompany-Ineos. He'd flagged 2025 as a possible swansong and kept riding anyway — this time it's final.
Swift flagged 2025 as a possible swansong, then found new purpose in the team's revamped approach to Grand Tour racing and signed on for one more year. That pattern — retiring on paper, staying on the road — says more about his value as a senior voice than any farewell tour would. He'll race the Tour of Britain and a run of Italian races before a final start at Paris-Tours, closing a career built on 10 Grand Tour starts, 25 Monuments, and two Milan-San Remo podiums.
