Volta a Portugal - Stage 6

Today is another interesting day, probably no major differences at the end of the day, but the finish is in a 3km climb. Last year the winner was Nuno Ribeiro, the current yellow jersey.

Live ticker.

The live stream should begin at 4pm, as usual.

Yesterday was another stage for a bunch sprint, but Andalucia managed to won the stage. Manuel Lopez who was in a break too, did the last effort to give to Manuel Piedra (his teammate) his first professional win.

Liberty Seguros is

doing some videos “inside the team” during Volta a Portugal. Good to see these ideas, to encourage fans.
Despite the quality isn’t the better, ideas like that are always very welcome.
an exemple:

Is pre-race show full of strange musicians or am I watching the wrong channel?

yeah

is what we call “Pimba” music, is pop mixed with our tradicional styles…it’s sucks!!

The show passed in the cities that welcome the race, it’s a bit that we call “fill sausages” (don’t know if you are familiar with this expression.)

the name Pimba

comes from this music, a big hit 10 years ago. After this music, the songs and artists that played like that are called “Pimba” singers/music. Old people and imigrants too, love them.
