Danish World Tour team Tinkoff-Saxo have confirmed the signing of Slovenian rider Peter Sagan on a three-year contract.
The 24-year-old, who joins from Cannondale, has won the points leader's green jersey in the Tour de France for the last three years.
"Peter is without doubt one of the biggest talents in cycling and one of the biggest names already," Tinkoff Saxo's sporting director Bjarne Riis said in a statement on the team's official website.
"He has a winning mentality, he's visible and active in the finales and he, without doubt, has the ability to bring home victories.
"He has a huge talent and he's already very strong but I believe he has even more potential than what we've seen so far."
Tinkoff-Saxo won three stages at this year's Tour de France but saw their general classification challenge end on stage 10 when Alberto Contador crashed out.
