Italian Diego Rosa, who was pipped for the Il Lombardia victory on Saturday by Esteban Chaves, will join Team Sky for the 2017 season. A source close to the deal says that Team Sky and Rosa signed a three-year contract.

The contract has been rumoured for the last five months. Some insiders suggested that Rosa could join Bora-Argon 18, which will become Bora-Hansgrohe with Peter Sagan in 2017. Instead, the British super team in black and blue secured his services.
