Volta ao Algarve podium history | 2014 edition | 2016 edition | Startlist |

Sunday, February 22: 5th and Final Stage, Almodovar - Vilmoura, 178 km

Andre Greipel wins stage 5

André Greipel wins stage 5

The Race: Indeed, this ended up being a good week for Team Sky. Over at the Ruta del Sol, Sky racer Chris Froome beat Alberto Contador by a narrow two seconds. Here at the Algarve, Geraint Thomas, also riding for Sky finished 27 seconds ahead of Michal Kwiatkowski (current World Road Race Champion) to take the final GC honors for this year's edition.

In this final stage, several breaks escaped and were brought back to the herd. It was a big field that contested the final sprint. Big André Greipel got lots of help from his Lotto-Soudal teammates to take his first victory of the young year. I expect there will be more.

Complete Results: 178 km raced at an average speed of 41.773 km/hr

Geraint Thomas wins stage 2

Geraint Thomas wins stage 2. Team Sky photo.

The Race: My! That was impressive! Today's stage was a trip over lumpy Portuguese roads and the racing was hot.

A break of five rolled off the front early in the race and gained a few minutes, but they were reeled in before the serious climbing began. As the the roads became more challenging, other groups tried their luck, to no avail. They were all caught.

Then, close the finish, Astana rider Rein Taaramae launched a blistering attack that looked to be the winning move. But, Sky rider Geraint Thomas wasn't going to let Taaramae get away without a fight. Thomas had something extra in his engine and blasted by Taaramae and continued his solo attack to the finish to earn a brilliant victory. Taaramae came in 19 seconds later.

Thomas' powerful and canny move not only earned him the stage victory, he is now the GC leader with a 30-second lead over Taaramae.

Stage 2 profile:

Wednesday, February 18: Stage 1, Lagos - Albifeira, 167 km

Stage 1 profile |

The Race: The first stage of Portugal's Volta ao Algarve followed the usual pattern of races so far this season. A small early break of four riders was allowed a lot of freedom, eventually gaining more than seven minutes on the peloton.

Even though the stage had more than a few hills, the sprinters were not going to let the breakaways have the stage without a fight. In the stage's closing kilometers the escapees were brought back to the fold, allowing a good portion of the field to fight it out in the sprint. Today, Gianni Meersman was the fastest.

Meersman not only won the stage, he becomes the race's first GC leader.
