Orlando Marsh's first victory: Vuelta Centro Histórico de Trinidad


  The many climbs in Vuelta Centro Histórico de Trinidad didn't give any good ideas for the riders. No riders attacked the entire stage through. When the final climb was near, the strongest riders settled themselves in front of the peloton. TEAM CAVENDISH 11 took a confident lead, supporting Orlando Marsh. The devistating tempo set by TEAM CAVENDISH 11 crushed rider by rider. When Orlando Marsh ran out of supporting riders, he had only 3 other competitors to beat. One of them, Francis Joseph Habersatter (TEAM CAVENDISH 11), launched a quick attack and managed to sit a lone in front for a short time. He only had Orlando Marsh and Sune Olsson (TEAM CAVENDISH 11) behind him now. Francis Joseph Habersatter could not keep the tempo high, and eventually, both Orlando Marsh and Sune Olsson passed him by.
Sune Olsson launched the sprint, but Orlando Marsh outrunned him and became the winner.
I'm happy the team picked me for the stage. I knew I could do it (win), and I wanted to prove it as well, said the happy winner who continued with a smile on his face: My preparations were perfect, I had a perfect day, and I won!.
TEAM CAVENDISH 11's manager, ALEX RAISBECK, was satisfied after the result in Vuelta Centro Histórico de Trinidad. Orlando Marsh did very well today. Everything turned out as we planned it, and Orlando Marsh had the power to win, said the manager.
