Renshaw extends with Dimension Data
(Cyclingnews.com)

Mark Cavendish lead-out man Mark Renshaw has extended his contract with Dimension Data, taking him through 2019 with the South African team that benefits the Qhubeka charity. `I´m looking forward to racing my 16th season professionally with Dimension Data for Qhubeka in 2019,` the 35-year-old Australian said in a statement released by the team. `This will be my fourth season with the team where we have had some great success over the past three years. `I´m excited to meet all my current teammates and all the new riders that will join us next season at our training camp in Cape Town next month,` he said. ADVERTISEMENT Renshaw joined the team in 2016, following Cavendish from Etixx-QuickStep. Cavendish had been rumoured to be considering a move away from the South African team after three years, and he and his representatives had talked to a number of teams over the past few months. Dimension Data added Italian sprinter Giaccomo Nizzolo to the 2019 roster in September, adding more fuel to the transfer rumours. However, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported late last week that the British sprinter had reached an agreement with Dimension Data to add another year to his contract. Now Renshaw is in the fold again as well. `Working with our new sprinter Giacomo Nizzolo next season as well seeing Ryan Gibbons continue to develop will be very exciting,` Renshaw said. `I`m looking forward to helping him and our other leaders in the sprint finals next season in my favourite position of lead-out rider. I will be sharing all my years of experience on the road to bring the team our best results.` - Mark Renshaw (@Mark_Renshaw) October 11, 2018 You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
