Peter Kennaugh has admitted he could leave Team Sky when his contract expires at the end of this season.

The British national champion, who joined Sky when he turned professional in 2010, is competing at the Tour of California and is expected to be selected to ride in this summer’s Tour de France having helped Chris Froome to his second-placed finish at the Vuelta a España last year.

However, the 25-year-old Manxman has so far refused to commit his future to Sky beyond this summer.

"I’ve been talking to a few teams, but ultimately it’s just where it’s best for me to go,” Kennaugh told Cycling News. “I’ve just got to decide what the future holds for me also, you know, what I want to do, if I want different goals and different objectives.

“I’ve been doing sort of a similar thing for the last couple of years now on Team Sky since I focused on the road after the track since 2013. Ultimately it’s going to come down to my decision, where I see myself for the next few years and what sort of motivates me as well. Nothing’s been decided yet.”
