The Vuelta Mexico Telmex began the stage on Friday with a new overall leader, with Jackson Rodriguez taking the yellow jersey from the shoulders of his Diquigiovanni-Androni teammate Gilberto Simoni after a successful breakaway on Thursday's stage five. Rock Racing racked up its second stage in a row thanks to a repeat win by Swiss rider David Vitoria.
