Volta ao Algarve LIVE

Stage 3: Faro - Tavira 203.1 km

Sprinters day in Algarve.

Estimated finish time: 16:45 - 17:15 CET

Rocky Beach Guy of the Day: Fabio Jakobsen

I don’t think QS are happy after stage 1. At all. So if Fabio has any kind of legs I think they will win today.

Stage 2: Sagres - Alto da Fóia 186.3 km

A classic mountain finish here in Algarve.

Estimated finish time: 16:25 - 16:55 CET

Rocky Beach Guy of the Day: Dani Martinez

It’s all guesswork this time of the year when Pogi isn’t around.

Stage 1: Portimão - Lagos 200.2 km

Much like Tirreno and Paris-Nice are twin races, Ruta del Sol and Algarve go hand in hand in February. Algarve tilts a tiny bit towards being more favored by classics guys than stage racers.

Estimated finish time: 15:40 - 16:10

Rocky Beach Guy of the Day: Fabio Jakobsen

He looks supreme on paper in this field and is well supported too.
