Josh Edmondson has signed a two-year contract with Team Sky.

The 20-year-old has spent the last two years at Italian side Team Colpack, as well as being part of the Great Britain Academy.

Edmondson said: "I'm really excited to be joining Team Sky, and to be taking this next step in my career. It's an amazing set up and a huge project.

"Meeting the team you can see that it is one big unit and that the support you get, with the best coaches and nutritionists in the world, is second to none.

"I see myself as a climbing specialist but my main aim with Team Sky is to develop my tour riding and get used to competing alongside the best riders in the world."

Edmondson secured a podium finish at the British National Road Race Championships earlier this year.
