“I am sort of needing to make a bit of a mark at Team Sky now. It’s my fifth year, a third of the way through [my career] already, so I really have got to start performing.”

Speaking at Team Sky’s Majorca training camp, Andy Fenn has spoken about how disappointed his is with his career so far and how important 2016 is in terms of developing himself as a good Classics rider and valuable person at Team Sky.

 

“My career got off to a good start but it didn’t really go how I was hoping or expecting,” Fenn told Cyclingnews. “I am sort of needing to make a bit of a mark at Team Sky now," he says. "It’s my fifth year, a third of the way through [my career] already, so I really have got to start performing.”

 

He says he feels he has made progress at the British team, something he says he struggled to do at Omega Pharma-QuickStep.

“I feel like I’ve found my feet a bit here," he says. "I’ve made good progress, and that’s happened again through the winter, I’m in pretty good shape now, and looking forward getting the season underway."

 

“It was nice coming to somewhere where I knew a lot of people, there’s quite a few British riders, and being in that environment, rather than being the foreign rider. Just the way run the team, working especially with Rod [Ellingworth] really got me back on track training and routine-wise, and I've really started to chip away and make progress again.”

 

The 25 year old Scot will once more target the Classics in a 2016 season where Sky’s Classics team is being severely reshuffled.

“The Classics are still my main focus again and hopefully this year I should be in a better position from the start,” he says. “We’ve got a good young team for those races. Luke Rowe stepped up last year and I’m hoping to do the same this year.”

 

“I’ve got to make that final part of the races as my next step. To be there in the finishes of those Classics, the more guys you have at the end of those races the better.
