Team Dimension Data have signed Roman Kreuziger for a two-year contract as from January 1, 2019, the team announced today.
The Czech was the third signing for DiData in the space of two weeks after they announced the contracting of Michael Valgren and Danilo Wyss for the same deal earlier this month.

Kreuziger, 32, who rode for Mitchelton-Scott this season, would bring a wealth of experience to the South African-based team, the statement said.
“Joining Team Dimension Data provides a new motivation for me and in some ways a fresh start,” Kreuziger said.
“Wherever I’ve ridden it’s been with success and this challenge is absolutely no different.
“I’ve had a really good year so far but I still have my big goal for the year to come, the World Championships in Innsbruck.
“I believe I’m now entering into the prime of my career and want to achieve great things with DiData. I can’t wait to get started with my new teammates.”
This year Kreuziger finished second in the Amstel Gold Race, fourth at the La Flèche Wallonne and eighth at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
He also took part in the Giro d’Italia where he played a supporting role for Simon Yates and finished sixth on stage four. The Czech has placed in the top-10 five times in Grand Tours throughout his career.
