Sean and Jesse Yates, National 10-mile time trial championships 2014
Sean Yates has been linked to a move to the Tinkoff-Saxo team for the 2015 season, having completed a year as directeur sportif for British outfit NFTO.
After retiring from competing in the sport, Yates started his career as sports director in 2003 with CSC - a former incarnation of the current Tinkoff-Saxo team. He served as DS for Sky from its inception in 2010 up until October 2012, when he 'retired' from his position with the British WorldTour team in the wake of the team’s internal interviews following the Lance Armstrong USADA doping case.
