Team Sky have bolstered their sprint options by signing up-and-coming Dutch rider Danny van Poppel.
The 22-year-old will join the British squad on a two-year contract from Trek Factory Racing on January 1.
Van Poppel made a major breakthrough in his career earlier this month by winning a stage of the Vuelta a Espana, which was his sixth professional victory.
He told 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 Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: "We are excited about Danny. He is only young and burst on to the scene at a very young age - he was one of the youngest riders ever to start the Tour de France [in 2013].
"He won a stage of the Vuelta a Espana recently, which was a terrific victory, but we see him fitting into our classics group and we are excited to have him."
Van Poppel is Team Sky's fourth signing for the new season, following Alex Peters, Gianni Moscon and Michal Golas.
