British national road race champion Adam Blythe has said that he jumped at the offer to sign for Irish Pro Continental side Aqua Blue Sports.

Blythe, who was at Tinkoff, has signed a two year deal with the team which has signed Andy Fenn, Leigh Howard, Matt Brammeier and Lars Petter Nordhaug and told Cycling Weekly: “They offered me two years, it was a good offer and I jumped at it. It was a no-brainer.

“It was the structure around the team, they want to develop me.  “I knew a few of the guys who were there already and that makes life easier. It’s going to be a strong team and the race program was an important factor.

“I’m not sure of my race calendar year, I need to sit down with the team and set my goals. I need see what targets I’m going to pick and go from there.

“The team wants success but also wants to grow. “The riders the team has got, it’s got all the attributes to do just that – grow.

“We have sprinters, one day riders for the hillier Classics, strong people who can do most things. Where the team is looking to go – which is the future, to keep growing – we have a good selection of riders to do that.”
