Uhhh.... There is a whole TEAM of professional cyclists doing just that: Team Novo Nordisk. However, they don't have a colossal ego.
By the way, they may not have been invited to the Grand Tours just yet, but they are my favorite team.

Giovanni Valetti - Il Campione Dimenticato
Won the Giro in 1938 and 1939 when he beat Gino Bartali in his prime. Also, I believe him winning the 38 Giro and Tour de Suisse made him the first cyclist to win two multi-stage tours in the same year. I could be mistaken. Some bad luck in 1940 and WW2 sent him into obscurity working his remaining life in the Alfa plant.
I may be a bit biased as I am an associate producer of his documentary.
