• Ratcliffe says ‘noisy minority’ should not be listened to
There were no protestors blocking his path or sporting satanic face masks as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man, flew into the Yorkshire Dales by helicopter to launch Team Ineos on Wednesday, seemingly unruffled by the growing disquiet over his arrival in cycling and his attitude to climate change.
Team Ineos, the successor to Team Sky, is the billionaire’s latest big-money venture into international sports sponsorship following his investment in Sir Ben Ainslie’s America’s Cup campaign and ownership of Swiss football team Lausanne-Sport.
