An official announcement has not yet been made but Cyclingnews understands that Team Sky will drive Ford cars as part of their in-race support in 2016.
Since their inception in 2010 the British WorldTour team have used Jaguar cars for their in-race vehicle support and the two bodies worked together on a number of innovations, including Team Sky’s Pinarello DOGMA K8-S, which was used during the Spring Classics last year. However Team Sky and Jaguar parted ways in December, with Team Sky needing to fill the void.
Team Sky were unavailable for comment but Cyclingnews understands that the deal with Ford will be announced in the coming days.
