Geraint Thomas has signed a contract extension with Team Sky.
The experienced Welshman has been at Sky since 2010 and said to his team's press office about the new deal: "Signing again was an easy decision. Team Sky feels like home. From the other riders to the staff, I love it here.
"I've only really just started when it comes to trying to win stage races. I'm learning all the time about how to get in the best shape for them and how to lead a team.
"For me, this year started with winning Paris-Nice and is now about going to the Tour in the best shape possible to support Froomey. After the Tour we can start looking to next year and keep setting bigger and better goals.
"It's about keeping that progression going, and Team Sky is the best place to do that. I'm just super happy being part of the team."
Team Sky Principal Sir Dave Brailsford was also delighted with the news and said: "We're all delighted that Geraint has renewed his contract with Team Sky.
"He epitomises what the team is all about both on and off the bike.
"He's a great ambassador for Team Sky, cycling and, let's not forget, Wales!
"Geraint is one of the most versatile bike racers in the world. He has demonstrated this by winning on the track, in the Classics and now in stage races.
"He has gone from strength to strength and winning Paris-Nice this year was another step up. I think it gave him real confidence and now he can set his sights on developing his performances in the Grand Tours.
"I still believe the best is yet to come from Geraint and we will enjoy supporting him to see just how far he can go."
