Elia Viviani at the 2017 edition of Milan-San Remo
Italian sprinter Elia Viviani has become the fifth rider to announce that he will leave Team Sky at the end of the season, making the move to Quick-Step Floors for 2018.
Viviani will depart after three seasons at Sky which yielded 14 stage wins, moving to the Belgian squad on the same day that it was announced that Marcel Kittel would be leaving Quick-Step for Katusha-Alpecin next year.
