Matti Breschel extends Tinkoff-Saxo stay

Matti Breschel will stay with Tinkoff-Saxo for another year as the Danish team target the 2015 Spring Classics following the capture of Peter Sagan.

Tinkoff-Saxo have announced that Danish Classics rider Matti Breschel will stay with the team for a further season.

The news comes as the Danish team announce their plans for the 2015 Spring Classics, following the capture of Slovenia's Peter Sagan.

Breschel, 29, won the 2013 Tour of Denmark and took two stages and the overall classification at the Tour of Luxembourg this year.

"It has been my plan to stay with the team and it's nice to finally being able to announce it," Breschel said in a statement on the team's official website.

"We're going to have a really exciting team next season. My clear ambition is to help the team as much as possible, whether it's by winning stages or supporting my teammates.

"I believe I can perform throughout the season, but the spring classics are of course on my radar as a part of the season, where I want to race on my highest level. I'm in good shape right now and I want to finish 2014 strongly."

Breschel attracted media attention earlier this year when he was injured at the Tour of Oman after being hit by a flying mattress.
