Team Sky have signed Dutchman Danny van Poppel for the 2016 and 2017 season.
The youngest ever rider in the Tour De France since the second World War, the 22 year old from Utrecht has won a stage at the Vuelta a Espana.
Speaking about his deal, van Poppel said to TeamSky.com: "I am about to complete my third year as a professional and feel ready to take my career to the next stage. I grabbed the opportunity to join Team Sky with both hands.
"With the knowledge and support they are able to offer, I believe I can grow, improve my performances, and support some of the world's best riders on the very biggest stage."
Team Principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: "We are very excited to have signed Danny. He burst on to the scene at an early age and is one of the youngest riders to have ever started the Tour de France.
"At 22 he's still young, and this change in environment will allow him to continue his development.
"Danny achieved a terrific stage victory in the Vuelta a Espana recently, proving he's a strong sprinter, and we also see him fitting into our Classics group in the seasons to come."
