After a frustrating three-year period at Omega Pharma-Quick Step, Andy Fenn is hoping to have chance to do a good year with Team Sky. The 24-year-old will ride cycling’s biggest one-day races and he failed to fulfil the potential he showed as a junior with the Belgian team because of the presence of Tom Boonen and Zdenek Stybar. He explained according to Sky Sports that he doesn’t regret to leave OPQS.
“I wasn’t really sad to leave [Omega Pharma-Quick-Step],” Fenn told. “I wasn’t unhappy that I joined them, but I am happy to be here now. There’s a push from the team for the classics this year and hopefully I can contribute to that. The first part of the season for me is all about the classics and becoming a part of that group of guys.”
Now, with Team Sky, he is thinking that he will have more chance to challenge for wins in 2015. “Maybe I will get an opportunity to try for something myself in the smaller races building up to the bigger ones, but we will have to see how it goes. You have got guys here who have already proven themselves. I have never even started the big classics and that is going to be new to me. I have been out of the British public’s eye a little bit. Being in a Belgian team means you maybe get lost a little bit."
He explained too that his transfer to OPQS has left him in shadow of other Britain riders. “I have been out of the British public’s eye a little bit,” Fenn said. “This is Britain’s professional cycling team so this is where the press is going to come, especially with what they are achieving. Being in a Belgian team means you maybe get lost a little bit.”
