Manx Missile Mark Cavendish will be competing in the Tour de France again this year.
The 36 year old has been named in the Deceuninck - Quick-Step squad.
He hasn't taken part in the Tour since 2018, but has won 30 individual stages since he first competed in 2008.
On Twitter, Cav said he was speechless and described the move as an absolute honour.
