Olympics 50 Craziest Stories

Zdenek Stybar basked in his first win in almost two years, on the final day of Volta ao Algarve, which took the bunch from Faro to Alto do Malhão, the most iconic climb of the region, where for the fourth consecutive year hosted the last stage of the race. Stybar, who kickstarted his 2019 campaign in Portugal, thus became the seventh different rider of Deceuninck – Quick-Step to earn a victory in the two months that have passed since the start of the season.

“I am very happy, because in the past two years I have always been on the attack on this stage and in 2018 I was caught with one kilometer to go, but now I finally managed to finish it off and get my first victory of the season, which augurs well ahead of the Classics, where I hope to be in the best shape”, an ecstatic Zdenek said after the podium ceremony.

The winning move took shape on the penultimate climb of the day, Alto de Vermelhos, where the Czech responded to an attack of Soren Kragh Andersen (Team Sunweb). A lack of response from the yellow jersey or his team helped the two extend their gap to 30 seconds and soon bridge to the remnants of the huge breakaway group which had took off early in the stage and still contained Tim Declercq, who put in a solid stint at the front for his teammate, before the attacking duo went clear again.

On the run-in to Alto do Malhão (2.5 kilometers, 9.9%), Steven Cummings (Dimension Data) joined them, but the Brit was dropped on the lower slopes of the climb, where attacks started flying from the reduced group, which Enric Mas duly shut down, before launching a move of his own. In the meantime, at the front, Zdenek dispatched his companion with 300 meters to go and powered to Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s second win of the week in Portugal, after the one of Fabio Jakobsen in Lagos.

“I joined that attack because I felt there was a chance of going all the way, as I knew that the up and down parcours would favour such a move and make things difficult for the chasers. The victory is important because it serves as confirmation of the good winter preparation I’ve had and also a confidence boost. It was a perfect day for us, with me taking the victory, Tim in the breakaway and Enric showing his strong legs in the finale”, said Zdenek, sixth in the GC, after becoming the 12th different Deceuninck – Quick-Step rider to claim a stage at the Volta ao Algarve.

Enric Mas – who also made his season debut here – concluded the race a strong fourth in the general classification, just a few seconds shy off the overall podium, while the hard-working Tim Declercq – who throughout the week controlled the breakaways, be it on the flat or hills – spent the entire stage in the escape, picking up valuable KOM points (including at the first ascent of Malhão), a raid for which he was rewarded with the best climber jersey.

“Normally my job is to catch the breakaways and to help the team, but today I got green light to join the escape and do my own race”, a smiling Tim explained. “Taking the points on the climbs wasn’t the plan, but I began scoring them here and there and ended up going onto the podium after the stage. It’s not often that I win something, so I am very happy with this result and how our week went here.”

The race: Here's the organizer's stage four summary.

Bicycle History

The Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jumbo-Visma) won today, with authority, the fourth stage of the Volta ao Algarve. The Slovenian Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) kept the yellow jersey, although he lost 7 seconds in the general classification.

Dylan Groenewegen was delayed due to a mechanical problem, about 5 kilometres from the finish line. Helped by his team, the Dutchman returned to his position and won for the second time in a row in Tavira.

Dylan Groenewegen took off at 200 metres from the finish line and imposed himself with authority after 198,3 km. Frenchman Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) entered the last meters poorly placed and sprinted from the rear, finishing in second place. The third was the young Belgian prodigy Jasper Philipsen (UAE Team Emirates).

“In the final part I had some mechanical problems, but the team quickly brought me to the front of the peloton. My colleagues were excellent at the sprint launch, it was a real black and yellow train that we saw here today. If we do the same in all races I think we will get along very well. It’s always a joy to win. For a sprinter it is important to win and so I am very satisfied. I felt very strong at the end, but the credit goes to the team that positioned me very well. On the first day we had bad luck but today we made the difference. We worked the whole stage and I’m very proud. I like racing in the Algarve very much, it’s always a crowded race and many are Dutch, it’s a very nice race”, said Dylan Groenewegen.

Unexpectedly, the fight for the Yellow Jersey Turismo do Algarve also went through today’s stage. Badly placed on arrival, Slovenian Tadej Pogačar was caught in the 7-second “cut”, as was Spanish Enric Mas (Deceuninck-Quick Step). The UAE Team Emirates youngster remained in charge, but saw the Danish Søren Kragh Andersen (Team Sunweb) rise to second place, reducing the gap to 29 seconds. The third is Wouter Poels (Team Sky), now 30 seconds away. Enric Mas went down to fourth with 31 seconds.

“Today was a normal day and the team [UAE Team Emirates] kept everything under control. I am very confident and motivated. Only later will we decide our strategy, but surely we will work and do everything in our power to defend the lead. Tomorrow we will face a lot of climbs before the end and every kilometre will count. We will have to be very careful, but the decisive moment will be the final climb,” said Tadej Pogačar.

The stage was boosted by the attack of Luís Fernandes (Aviludo-Louletano), Nikolay Mihaylov (Efapel), Jesús Nanclares (Miranda-Mortágua), Fábio Costa (UD Oliveirense/InOutBuild) and Oscar Pelegri (Vito-Feirense-PNB), which faded in the last 20 kilometers.

The tension of the final kilometres was overcome without accidents and the thousands of spectators from Tavira watched a phenomenal sprint.

Tadej Pogačar goes to the final stage in possession of the Yellow Jersey Turismo do Algarve. The Slovenian is also the leader of the mountains classification (Águas do Algarve) and the best youngster of the race. The Frenchman Arnaud Démare is the owner of the Red Cofidis jersey, the leader of the points classification.

The Volta ao Algarve ends this Sunday with the fifth stage, with 173,5 km. The start is in Faro, at 12h30, and ends at the top of Malhão, municipality of Loulé, about 17h00, in the second ascent to that already mythical climb of Portuguese cycling.

Olympics 50 Craziest Stories

The Swiss Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) won today the third stage of the Algarve Tour, a 20.3 km time trial, in Lagoa. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) reinforced the command of the general classification with the fifth place in the stage.

The fight for the stage was exciting, with the first four finishing separated by less than ten seconds. The Swiss time trial champion, Stefan Küng, was the strongest of all, concluding the demanding race in 24m33s in a technical and windy terrain.

The Danish Søren Kragh Andersen (Team Sunweb) confirmed the expectations that he would be in the discussion of the time trial, getting the second best time, just 2 seconds from the winner. The Belgian champion in the background, Yves Lampaert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) closed the podium of the day, with 5 seconds more than the winner. 8 seconds away from Küng was the Irish time trial champion, Ryan Müllen (Trek-Segafredo).

The Slovenian Tadej Pogačar showed consistency to be considered the most serious candidate for victory in the 45th Volta ao Algarve. He completed the time trial in 24m50s, in fifth place, gaining time from all direct competition in the fight for the Camisola Amarela Turismo do Algarve.

Tadej Pogačar remains at the top of the standings, but now with a comfortable margin of 31 seconds over Enric Mas (Deceuninck-Quick Step) and 36 seconds ahead of Søren Kragh Andersen, second and third, respectively. The battle for the podium is expected to be lively until the final stage, as there are two more men, both from Team Sky, less than a minute from the commander, Wouter Poels, 37 seconds away, and David de la Cruz, 57. Amaro Antunes (CCC Team), tenth of the overall, at 2m43s, is the best Portuguese.

The Blue Jersey Águas do Algarve, for the best climber, and the White Jersey 120 Years FPC, for the best young rider, are also worn by the Slovenian Tadej Pogačar, 20 years old. Dutchman Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-Quick Step) is still in possession of the Red Cofidis jersey, the points.

The fourth stage of the Algarve Tour will take place this Saturday. The sprinters are expected in Tavira after the 198.3 kilometres.The start will be in Albufeira at 12h00.

Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) – Stage winner:
I did this time trial on last year’s Volta ao Algarve and that gave me some advantage, as I knew the route and knew where to make the most effort. I had a somewhat conservative start, but after setting my pace, I insisted and ended up making a difference at the end. It’s the first race of the year, so it’s the first time we’ve compared ourselves to the others. It’s a time for adjustments. I’m in a new team and during the winter we worked hard to adjust all the details, so it’s very positive to win this first test.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) – General classification leader:
I’m very satisfied. I felt confident but I didn’t expect to strengthen the lead. I did a good time trial, was well guided in my effort by my sports director and achieved an excellent result. Now I’m wearing the yellow jersey and with the support of my team we will try to protect it until the end.

The race: Here's the organizer's stage summary.

Paris–Roubaix: The Inside Story

Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is the new leader of the Volta ao Algarve, after the win in the second stage, in the Fóia

The last 40 kilometres of the stage were filled with multiple attacks, but it was Pogacar’s offensive, in the last hundred metres, that decided the shot. The winner of the 2018 Tour de L’Avenir won in the face of the strong and icy wind from the highest point of the Algarve, after 187,4 km from Almodôvar.

The big favourite to win the Volta ao Algarve, Dutchman Wouter Poels (Team Sky) was the second to cross the finish line, spending 1 second more than Pogacar. The third, 3 seconds away, was Spainiard Enric Mas (Deceuninck-Quick Step). The general has the same order, with equal time differences.

The most serious movements started in the second category climb to the alto de Pomba, 40 kilometers from the end. Amaro Antunes and Riccardo Zoidl (CCC Team) isolated themselves and were two minutes ahead of the field. João Rodrigues and Raúl Alarcón (W52-FC Porto), Domingos Gonçalves (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and João Benta (Rádio Popular-Boavista) were in intermediate position.

Realizing the danger, Team Sky and Deceuninck-Quick Step imposed a strong rhythm, ending the escape of two CCC Team men 16 kilometers from the arrival. The climb to Fóia was made according to the rhythm of Tao Geogheghan Hart (Team Sky), who only dropped the lead of the group near the final kilometer.

The Algarvian Amaro Antunes returned to the load and isolated himself in the last thousand meters, but Wouter Poels responded to try to win the stage, being, however, surprised by the counterattack of Tadej Pogacar, who owned all the shirts except the red, still in possession of Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-Quick Step).

The fight for the Yellow Jersey Turismo do Algarve is under way and Friday’s time trial, 20.3 kilometres in Lagoa, will be instrumental in better defining the GC candidates.

Wouter Poels, 1 second behind, Enric Mas, 3 seconds, Sam Oomen (Team Sunweb), 5 seconds, and David de la Cruz (Team Sky), 21 seconds, are among the contenders. However, Denmark’s Soren Kragh Andersen (Team Sunweb), sixth with 51 seconds to spare, could take a favourable position. Injured by the time lost in the fall of the first stage, the Portuguese João Rodrigues (W52-FC Porto), seventh, at 1m29s, and Amaro Antunes, eighth, at 1m42s, are a little further away.

Tadej Pogacar, stage winner and leader of the general classification:
My teammates did an excellent job to protect me and in the final climb, I followed the attacks and in the last 100 meters, I took over the sprint and managed to win. It’s my first victory as a professional and I won it here in the Algarve. Tomorrow is the time trial and all the effort will depend on me, I’m not a super specialist but I’ll do my best and we’ll see how it goes. The team’s first strategy was for Fabio Aru, but yesterday he lost time in the crash and the team decided to give me an opportunity for the general classification. I’m doing my best as a professional cyclist and from now on I hope you will see more of me.

Stage 1 map & profile

Fabio Jakobsen

Fabio Jakobsen takes the Algarve's first stage.

Weather at the finish city of Lagos at 2:00 PM, local time: (17C) 62F, partly cloudy, with the wind from the ESE at 21 km/hr (13 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from winner Fabio Jakobsen's Deceuninck-Quick Step team.

Cycling's World Championships

He came, he saw, and helped by an incredible team, he conquered! Fabio Jakobsen didn’t waste any time on stage 1 of the Volta ao Algarve – at 199.1 kilometers, the longest of this edition, which took the peloton from Portimão to Lagos – notching up his maiden victory of the season, and the ninth of the team since January, following a spectacular sprint.

“It’s amazing to win my first race of the season after all the training in the winter, it’s a perfect start to the year. Both my family and the team supported me, I worked hard for this and it feels great to get a victory against so many strong sprinters and don the first leader’s jersey”, a delighted Fabio said before heading to the podium ceremony, where he collected two more jerseys – red (points classification) and white (best young rider standings).

As soon as the peloton rolled through the neutralised zone on Wednesday, five riders from local Portuguese Continental teams sparked a move and put around three and a half minutes between them and the pack, which was headed by Tim Declercq, who confirmed his “El Tractor” nickname, pulling for dozens and dozens of kilometres and making sure the gap remained a stable one.

With two insignificant climbs featuring in the first part of the course, the stage was never going to be a problem for the sprinters’ teams, who slowly made their way to the front of the bunch, bringing back both the original breakaway and the duo who attacked inside the final 40 kilometers, when it became clear that the first move of the day was all but doomed.

A big pile-up in the bunch, which occurred with seven kilometers to go, left only 30-40 riders at the front, Deceuninck – Quick-Step being well-represented there, with the likes of Yves Lampaert and Davide Martinelli, who organised the sprint train and stretched out the field going into the last kilometers. Under the flamme rouge, former Czech Champion Zdenek Stybar ramped up the pace, before Florian Sénéchal took over and provided a flawless lead-out for Fabio Jakobsen.

The Dutchman accelerated some 150 meters from the line, going past Simone Consonni (UAE Team Emirates) and easily holding off the charges of Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ) and Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe), who rounded out the podium in Lagos, which hosted a stage finish for the third consecutive year. The small group that arrived to the line together with Jakobsen contained also Vuelta a España runner-up Enric Mas, who just like his teammate, kickstarted the season in Algarve.

“We trained here in the region this year and did a recon of the stage, so we knew the roads and that the small climb inside the final three kilometers was going to be hard and quite crucial. The boys kept the pace high there and protected me, before putting me in a perfect position for the sprint. This result motivates us even more and hopefully our great week will continue”, concluded Fabio, the 11th different Deceuninck – Quick-Step rider to win a stage at the Portuguese race since 2007.
