Prerace, Andrew Pinfold - Symmetrics

Amy Smolens: Are you happy with your 5th place on yesterday's stage?

Andrew Pinfold: Not bad, yeah, I'm reasonably happy with it. I had to use a little bit more gas than I would have liked in the last kilometre so I didn't really have a sprint at the end. Yeah! If we can maybe today get a little closer to the front at the end, you never know - podium maybe!

AS: Do you think a break will get away today?

AP: Oh, I think a break will go but I don't think it'll last to the finish. I don't see anything changing from yesterday. It's just that the circuit looks quite technical and narrow so it could be a little bit more like the first day where positioning was critical in the last kilometre and that's where we didn't have things together. We'll see!

Postrace, Andrew Pinfold - Symmetrics - 6th place on the stage

AS: It wasn't exactly a flat stage at the end there, was it?

AP: No, it wasn't. No, it was a little harder than I think we'd anticipated. Unfortunately I flatted with about 10k to go, right before we got into the circuits and that sort of sapped my legs a little bit. But that circuit I think suited us pretty good because the it was kind of a strength thing for positioning as opposed to really argy-bargy stuff. So all the guys were able to kind of be up there (in addition to Pinfold's 6th, Andrew Randell and François Parisien finished 12th and 13th, respectively) so it was good, so I think it suited our team pretty well.
(Now in the daily moment of heckling, his teammates give Pinner grief about his use of the term "argy-bargy" and I debate how to spell it.)

AS: Ivan Dominguez wasn't enjoying the circuits and he lost the Yellow Jersey...

AP: Yeah, he was getting dropped just as I caught on. It certainly wasn't a pure sprinter's stage, but you know, you saw (Greg) Henderson (who won the stage) and (Tyler) Farrar up there. I think, you know, it was kind of a hard man's circuit.

AS: What are your thoughts going into tomorrow's Team Time Trial? Have you done many of them?

AP: We've done a few, like we've raced in El Salvador and stuff. I think we're a well-balanced team, then again, that's in a North American sense. I think here with all the ProTour teams every team is pretty well balanced. I think we'll do pretty good tomorrow, we're just going to focus on being smooth and we didn't have anyone in the break today so we're all relatively fresh.
