After a frustrating three-year period at Omega Pharma-Quick Step, the British rider Andy Fenn is hoping to have chance to do a good year with Team Sky. He said, according to Cyclingnews, that he lost confidente last three years, but he stay motivated. "I did lose confidence a bit at Quick Step, but it wasn’t all bad. I learned an awful lot there, especially from the likes of Mark Cavendish. Working in the sprint train for him I could see that I still have plenty of speed, I'm putting out the watts that you need to be competitive in the sprints, so I know that ability is still there. It's just a case of getting some confidence back."

 

He hopes to be competitive this spring, during the Classics. "I'd like to make a place for myself in the Classics team and find my niche there – that's certainly what they're aiming me towards. If I were select one objective for the year it would be to become an integral part of Sky's Classics group. That's my main goal, especially for the first part of the season, and then the sprinting will come off the back of that."

 

In the Team Sky, we can notice that there is a few good sprinters like Elia Viviani, Ben Swift and Chris Sutton. "There's a good little sprint group now at Sky, and that's another thing that Sky are going to try to push. With the strong push for the Classics, that's two new things that Sky are going to do and I'm in line to be part of both of them, and it's good to be part of something that's new like that", Fenn said.

 

Fenn explained also that Sky is a "grand tour team" and he hopes to help the team to win some victories. "I definitely think I can still make my mark as a sprinter. I led out a few times last year, and that gave me some more insight into what it takes to be competitive as a sprinter. Although the few times I sprinted my results weren't all that impressive, but I know from training what I can put out numbers-wise, and that gives me a good reference point now."
