New deal for Swift soon

Cyclist to leave UAE

Cyclist Ben Swift says an announcement about who he will ride for next season will be made soon.

The 30-year-old Onchan resident has spent the last two years with UAE Team Emirates, which followed seven years with Team Sky.

He'd hoped to make the jump to an outright leadership role at UAE, having impressed at Sky, but injuries and mistakes thwarted those ambitions.
