Peter Kennaugh has revealed he may leave Team Sky at the end of the season as his current contract is up. The 25-year-old Manxman told Cyclingnnews at the tour of California that he is weighing up his options and will make his decision after the Tour de France.
"I've been talking to a few teams, but ultimately it's just where it's best for me to go," Kennaugh said. "I've just got to decide what the future holds for me also, you know, what I want to do, if I want different goals and different objectives.”
"I've been doing sort of a similar thing for the last couple of years now on Team Sky since I focused on the road after the track since 2013. Ultimately it's going to come down to my decision, where I see myself for the next few years and what sort of motivates me as well. Nothing's been decided yet."
He says for now that his biggest goal is returning to form and making Sky’s Tour de France roster, and he has told his agent that he wont listen to any offers until after the conclusion of the world’s biggest race.
"I've had three weeks off in March due to injury, so I'm on my way back up to my fitness now and I go straight to Tenerife from here for an altitude training camp before the Tour – so he's been in touch with me about other teams, and I just said until after the Tour de France I kind of just want to focus on making that team and getting the form and the right place," Kennaugh said.
"That's the objective now, and then after the Tour then we can sort of focus on what the next two years have to offer."
