Brailsford praises Poels after Liege-Bastogne-Liege win
Sky team principal Dave Brailsford has praised Wout Poels after he secured the team’s first monument at Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday. Brailsford added that he would be keen to keep on Poels, whose contract runs out at the end of this year.
Since joining the squad last season, Poels has notched up five victories, including the overall classification at this year’s Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. He also helped to support Chris Froome towards his victory at the 2015 Tour de France.

"Wout has speed, a fantastic work ethic and showed that he is a winner,” Brailsford told de Telegraaf. “He had a great share in the Froome’s Tour victory last year. I even think that he has the qualities himself to ride for the general classification at the Tour in the future. We are therefore talking about his contract extension. I am convinced that it will get there, because we want to keep him here. Because of what I've already said, and another important reason: Wout is just a great fun guy.”
