World champion Michal Kwiatkowski has told Cyclingnews that he has an offer from Team Sky but his preference for 2016 is to remain with his current squad, Etixx-QuickStep.

“I have a clear offer from Team Sky. My agent has it but I want to really stay at Etixx but it’s all about an answer from Patrick Lefevere. It’s not about searching for a new path. It’s about staying here and as you know the team haven’t signed yet with Mark Cavendish, Uran, Boonen and other riders. I would like it all finished by August and there’s no way I’ll wait until the end of the season.”

“I would keep it calm but when you have news in the media every week about it you have to answer. I would like to focus more on the races and that’s why I have my agent, but lets hope it can be finished at the right time. The longer I talk, it’s worse but I want to stay. We’ll see."

The world champion is currently looking to shine in the Tour de France while wearing the Rainbow Jersey and he succeeded in winning a big classic, Amstel Gold, in the fabled jersey.
