Michael Mørkøv has signed a two-year contract extension with Deceuninck-QuickStep that will take him through 2023. The Danish rider has been an essential part of the Belgian team's lead-out success having set up many of their sprint victories over the last four seasons.

"I am very excited to extend my contract with the team. I feel really appreciated by Deceuninck-QuickStep all the way from Patrick [Lefevere] to the staff, the sports directors, and my fellow riders," Mørkøv said in a team press release Monday.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
