Dave Brailsford's main goal is to target all three Grand Tours in 2016. Currently, Team Sky won their third Tour de France with Chris Froome this year. And with a lot of signing this summer, including Spaniards Mikel Landa and Benat Intxausti.

He explained his thought according to Skysports.com: "Winning the big races intermittently is great, but ultimately, the challenge is to maintain that level of performance over a long period of time. That is what we intend to do and that is what is driving us forward."

"At a preliminary stage, I don't see why we can't go for all three Grand Tours and have a real good crack at that. It's very premature, but that would certainly be something that looks attractive next year."

But Brailsford would like also to win a one-day race. With Michal Kwiatkowski, Geraint Thomas and Ian Stannard, his team is one of the most competitive teams: "We still want a Monument. We have got to put a lot of thought and effort into that next year, for sure. We have already started debriefing and looking and planning for next year, and we want to make sure we get this year's off-season as nailed as we did last year."
