Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford had a successful 2015 season, most notably Chris Froome's win at the Tour de France. Nonetheless, he hopes to do even better in 2016. With Spaniard Mikel Landa, he thinks to have the roster to win two three-week races.

"You may remember that last year we set out our 2020 Vision for Team Sky, and at the heart of it the goal of becoming indisputably and consistently the greatest cycling team in the world - and to be viewed as one of the best sports teams in the world. I think we are well down that track", Brailsford explained on the Team Sky website. "But to maintain the momentum 2016 must be our most successful year ever, on and off the bike."

Each year Team Sky seems to be more and more competitive with the signing of some of best riders and the revelations. This winter, Michal Kwiatkowski and Mikel Landa were two big reinforcements for the British team. "Every year we like to set ourselves tough and ambitious targets and 2016 will be no different. In the next two weeks we will outline exactly what we want to achieve and I can promise you that they are a set of objectives to excite any cycling team and any cycling fan. I firmly believe we have the team to deliver excellent results this season, so watch this space."

Team Sky wants to to shine in Spring classics and has added Danny van Poppel from Trek Factory Racing. "The more we have achieved the more we have been put in a position of leadership in the sport more generally. We welcome the extra pressure and responsibility that comes with that. Because at the same time as meeting the main goal of winning bike races, we will continue to play a leadership role in moving the great sport of cycling forward to a brighter future - innovating, riding clean and winning clean.

"Of course our job is to win the big races. But we also know there is a cycling revolution going on in many countries of the world, not least the UK. Everyone at Team Sky is proud to be part of it. And as the New Year begins, in this new era for our sport, we just can't wait to get racing again."
