Tyler Farrar has extended his contract with Dimension Data for two more years. The American, who has won stages in all three grand tours, will try to help young riders to improve.
"The deal is done", he told VeloNews. "I love it here. I am really happy on this team and the role I have. I am at the point of my career where I can help the other guys achieve success and trying to put my experience to good use."
Next year he will start his 15th season, with 12 of those at the WorldTour level. He won Vattenfall Cyclassics, Scheldeprijs, and stages at Tirreno-Adriatico. He is now fully committed to his road captain role as well as helping former nemesis Mark Cavendish.
"I am older in cycling years than I am in regular years. It is perpetuating the cycle. I am not as fast as I used to be, and I do have a lot of experience, and I think I can be helpful in a lot of races. I guess the team thought so, too, because they are keeping me around. I love this team and the culture they’ve built up here."
