Sir Dave Brailsford has quit as performance director of British Cycling to concentrate on running Team Sky.
The 50-year-old led Great Britain to eight gold medals at both the Beijing and London Olympics and has transformed the sport during his 10-year reign.
“It’s a big step but the right decision for the team and for me,” he said.
Head coach Shane Sutton will now become technical director responsible for rider performance ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games.
