Letterkenny-born cyclist Philip Deignan has signed a new contract with Team Sky for 2018.
The 34-year-old has been with Team Sky since 2014.
Deignan will now ride for a fifth season next year.
“It was a very easy decision,” he said.
“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.
“I like the way the team works with everything being quite scheduled out and planned. I find I work better in that environment and the team provides all of that for me with such a professional set up and coaching.”
Deignan won on the 2013 Tour of the Gila, while he was riding for UnitedHealthcare.
