Team Sky are reportedly close to signing Cannondale-Drapac rider Dylan van Baarle, despite the American team having previously announced that that the Dutchman would stay until 2019.

As reported by De Telegraaf, Van Baarle's extension with Cannondale had been an oral agreement rather than a written contract, and the 25-year-old had decided to look for other options when it was announced that the future of Cannondale-Drapac was in doubt for 2018 with the withdrawal of a major sponsor.
