Mark Cavendish will now stay with Deceuninck Quick-Step until the end of 2022.
The Manxman, 35, was out of contract in a difficult market this winter and had openly contemplated that his career might be coming to an end despite his desire to race on.
Cavendish's wish has now been granted as he returns to the team with which the 30-time Tour de France stage winner secured 44 victories between 2013 and 2015.
The news comes after Cav suffered two broken ribs and a collapsed lung in a crash at the Six Days of Ghent in November.
He said: "I can't explain how delighted I am to be joining Deceuninck-QuickStep.
"I have never hidden my affection for my time with the team and to me this genuinely feels like I am coming home".
