Team Dimension Data
Mark Renshaw has extended his contract with Dimension Data for 2019. The Australian has been in the African team since 2016.
The 35-year-old has been an integral part of the team over these three seasons, particularly being part of the roster that supported Mark Cavendish at the 2016 Tour de France, a race in which he took five stage victories, wore the Yellow jersey and the points jersey.
"I'm looking forward to racing my 16th season professionally with Dimension Data for Qhubeka in 2019," Renshaw commented. "This will be my 4th season with the team where we have had some great success over the past 3 years.
"I'm excited to meet all my current teammates and all the new riders that will join us next season at our training camp in Cape Town next month."
The rider is already looking forward to the next season, continue sharing his experience with new riders and supporting the Qhubeka charity, which is an essential part of the team. "Working with our new sprinter Giacomo Nizzolo next season as well seeing Ryan Gibbons continue to develop will be very exciting, I looking forward to helping him and our other leaders in the sprint finals next season in my favourite position of lead-out rider," the Australian explained. "I will be sharing all my years of experience on the road to bring the team our best results.
"The Qhubeka charity is a huge part of this team and I am very proud to be a part of this. Helping put kids on bikes is a big motivation for all riders and the chance to be part of a handover each year in South Africa means a lot to me. This year I will purchase 4 Qhubeka bikes; one for each year I have been with Dimension Data that will help a child in Africa."
