Geraint Thomas has signed a two-year contract extension with Team Sky until 2018.
The double Olympic track champion, 29, has been with Team Sky since its inception in 2010, and has played a key role in the team's continued success.
Thomas switched his focus to stage races this season, winning the Volta ao Algarve in February before claiming his first Paris-Nice title in March and is expected to be involved in Team Sky's bid to win a fourth Tour de France in July.
"Signing again was an easy decision," he said. "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 [Chris Froome]. 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."
