Andrew "Andy" Tennant (born 9 March 1987) is an English professional track and road racing cyclist who rides for the WIGGINS team.
Biography
Born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK, Tennant began to make his mark on the cycling world as a junior rider.[2] In 2005 he was selected for British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme and lived in Tuscany, Italy with the GB squad in 2006.[3] Tennant represented England in the points race at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The following season he overtrained, and his results suffered as a consequence.[4] Tennant is currently a member of British Cycling's Olympic Academy.[4]
Whilst riding for Team Halfords Bikehut in 2009, he was mentored by Rob Hayles.[5]
In 2015 Tennant moved to the new WIGGINS team set up by Bradley Wiggins aiming to prepare British riders for the team pursuit at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[6]
