Landis to lead Ouch in Mexico

By Kirsten Robbins

Floyd Landis will lead his 2009 squad OUCH presented by Maxxis at the Vuelta a Mexico Telmex held on March 1-8. The UCI 2.2 category event is a part of the UCI American Tour, offering eight days of tough climbing stages located around Mexico City.

"There is a big gap in racing in the US circuit after Tour of California leading into Redlands," said Directeur Sportif Mike Tamayo regarding the five-week absence of NRC level racing beginning at the end of February and into March. "Tour of Mexico fills that void with seven days of good, hard racing."
