OUCH Pro Cycling Team press release

In front of tens of thousands of fans in the heart of one of the world's most populous cities, Canadian Andrew Pinfold of the OUCH Pro Cycling Team Presented by Maxxis finished off a perfectly executed lead-out with the sprint win in the final stage of la Vuelta Mexico. It was the team's second stage win of the eight-day race.

Pinfold was on the tail end of a full lead-out train, with the winning effort coming at the end of a 77km stage that saw the team help control the race from start to finish.

"Right from the start, we sent Brad White and Pat McCarty to the front to help the Serramenti-Diquigiovanni team of race leader Jackson Rodriguez keep control of the race," said OUCH Presented by Maxxis directeur sportif Mike Tamayo.

When a nine-rider break went up the road, it was OUCH Presented by Maxxis that led the chase to bring it back with about 15 km to go.

"With six kilometers to go, we took over," Tamayo said.

The team sent Floyd Landis, Cameron Evans, Karl Menzies, Roman Kilun and Pinfold to the front to join McCarty and White and lined it up. "It's great to have that kind of horsepower up front for a lead-out," Tamayo added.

Going into the final kilometer, Kilun was on the front, with Menzies and Pinfold glued to his wheel. Kilun dropped off the duo at about 450 meters to go. Menzies dialed it up, taking Pinfold through the sweeping turn around the landmark Independence Monument on El Paseo de la Reforma in the heart of the city and giving him a clear shot to the line.

Pinfold easily bested the Burgos Monumental duo of Joaquin Sobrino and Enrique Mata.

"I had Roman and Karl looking after me. And when Karl goes like that, you can't help but win," Pinfold said. "The guys rode amazing. Everyone did their jobs today. When that happens, so do the wins."

Menzies carried enough momentum after his lead-out to come through in 6th place on the stage.
