Deignan extends with Sky
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Philip Deignan will ride on in Team Sky kit again next year after signing a new contract, the team announced on Wednesday. Deignan joined the team in 2014 after a two-year-spell at Pro Continental level with the UnitedHealthcare squad, making 2018 his fifth season with Team Sky. `It was a very easy decision. I`ve been part of the team now for four years, I`ve settled in nicely and I`ve made so many good friends on the team. I feel almost part of the family now, so it was an easy decision to stay,` Deignan said in a press release issued by the team. `The season in general I was really happy with. But it`s so easy on this team when you enter a squad with a big leader like a [Chris] Froomey, Sergio Henao or G [Geraint Thomas] and any of these guys. It makes the job so much easier when you`ve got a guy who you know can win. Then you`re able to give 100 percent and you`ve got full confidence. We`re a bit spoiled on Team Sky that we`ve got so many great leaders, but for me as one of the domestiques it makes my job a little bit easier.`ADVERTISEMENT A capable all-rounder with a Grand Tour top 10 at the 2009 Vuelta a Espana on his career palmares, Deignan has spent most of his time with Sky as a support rider for stage races, with occasional opportunities of his own. He has ridden the Giro d`Italia in three of the past four seasons and will continue to focus on that race moving forward. `I think my aims will be similar to this year, and just trying to be consistently good from February onwards,` Deignan said. `Being able to do the job I`m asked to do, and hopefully have a solid Giro and work towards that race again as a big objective. But mainly consistency and being able to do my job.`   You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
