Looks like Il Pistolero is back. Alberto Contador wins Algarve stage 5
The Race: Here's the stage story as related by Alberto Contador's Tinkoff team.
Contador put on a climbing exhibition in the second ascent to Alto do Malhao with a late attack. Thanks to the committed effort of the squad to keep the race under control and position Contador for the climb, Tinkoff's leader took the stage win while securing the third place overall.
Despite a slow start to the Volta ao Algarve, Contador fired today his first warning shot of the season, on the fifth and final stage that took the peloton from Almodôvar to the famous climb of Alto do Malhão. After 169km and four climbs, it was on the second ascent of the 45km loop that Contador took matter into his own hands and staged his attack.
A group of nine escapees was formed in the early kilometers of the race and Tinkoff together with Movistar set a ferocious pace, working hard to haul back the breakaway. Paulinho, Trofimov and Kiserlovski then protected Contador until the final three kilometers in a compact group, when Contador staged a solo attack and powered ahead. Fabio Aru responded but Contador went on and crossed the finish line victorious, with 20-second lead over the Italian.
"There was a breakaway of nine riders early on," stated Sport Director Steven De Jongh "nothing really important for the GC. As a result, we decided to work together with Movistar and we each put one rider. First it was Jesús Hernández and then Michael Valgren, who did a lot of work, while the rest of the squad did their part. In the finale Sergio Paulinho, Yuri Trofimov and Roberts Kiserlovski took the reins to support Alberto and put him in a good position for the climb. Alberto showed his form and did one very good attack, which was enough to net him the stage win. He rode away and there was nobody that could follow him.”
"The mountain finish on the second stage was a little bit disappointing of course," continued de Jongh, "but it's also seven months since Alberto did his last race, which was the Tour de France. You can't expect him to be in excellent form from the start and today he showed he was really a lot better. I think this is surely promising for the upcoming races and I believe it is all good."
"I knew I was coming to Portugal in good form," commented Contador after today's stage win. "I hadn't raced since a number of months and on the second stage, I probably lacked a bit of energy in the final part, that's why I lost more time than I would have lost under normal conditions. For that reason, for me, today was an important day. I had the legs and I was feeling I could win. That's why the squad worked together with Movistar and we clinched the win. I'm very happy with this victory and I'd like to dedicate it to Oleg Tinkov and Tinkoff Bank for their backing and the trust they have shown through their sponsorship during the last four years. It's, obviously, easier to win when you have that kind of support. We will keep fighting, with our sights always set on the big goal of the year, the Tour de France.”
"I'd also like to thank the whole team for their hard work at the Volta ao Algarve, some days with no payout, but today we topped it off and grabbed the victory. I'm happy I stepped on the podium and as I said, the last time I raced was at the Tour de France last year, so it's always encouraging to debut with a victory. It boosts your confidence but at the same time we shouldn't rest on our laurels. We have to stay concentrated and deliver," continued Contador.
“My next goal is Paris-Nice, a race in which I last competed in 2010. I'll be back this year and I hope I'll be able to obtain a good result", concluded Contador.
And here's the story from overall winner Geraint Thomas' Sky team:
The five-day event came down to the final climb and the famed ascent of the Alto do Malhao. As the attacks started firing, Thomas stayed firmly in the mix to mark his rivals and secure another yellow jersey.
Crossing the line 28 seconds behind stage winner Alberto Contador (Tinkoff), the Welshman enjoyed support from his team-mates throughout the day to seal a third Algarve title for Team Sky.
After pressure from Team Sky and Movistar up front, overnight leader Tony Martin (Etixx - Quick-Step) lost contact with the peloton first time over the Alto do Malhao and slipped out of the GC picture heading into the finale.
With his three-second deficit over-turned, Thomas rode intelligently as Contador led home Fabio Aru (Astana) and Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) by 20 seconds. Lars-Petter Nordhaug was the next Team Sky rider home, 20th over the line.
Thomas topped the Portuguese podium by 19 seconds over Jon Izagirre (Movistar) and a further seven over a resurgent Contador.
After the stage Thomas admitted he was riding with his head on the final climb as attacks fired off around him. "Once Tony Martin got dropped first time up the climb the stage was all about defending that lead," he told TeamSky.com.
"Izagirre was the biggest threat after that and I just didn't get carried away when Contador and Rigo (Uran) attacked. I just followed Izagirre all the way until well into the last kilometre. I had a little dig myself but I kind of knew I had it by then. The worst thing that could happen was to follow Contador, blow up and then maybe lose the race overall. It was just about playing it safe and finishing the job off.
"I knew the climb from last year and we do it twice in the race. So I knew the effort it involved and I just didn't want to get carried away and go into the red until necessary. It's been a big team effort and all week the boys have been great and supporting me all the way through."
Replicating his victory of 12 months ago, Thomas will hope to build on that momentum as he heads into a key portion of his season. "It's always nice to be on the podium and get a win," he added. "I don't get to do it very often so I certainly enjoy that. It's definitely a good confidence booster now going into the last big block of training. I've got a big block of racing then with three big stage races and then three big one-days as well. Hopefully I can take something out of all that."

Stage 5 profile
Saturday, February 20: Stage 4, S. Bras de Alportel - Tavira, 194.0 km
Marcel Kittel nails his second 2016 Algave stage
The Race: Here is Etixx-Quick Step's explanation of the stage.
Three years after Tony Martin won in Tavira, his countryman matched that feat in the Portuguese town.
Volta ao Algarve continued on Saturday, when Marcel Kittel showed once again he is back to his best this season, by taking the victory on the penultimate stage (S. Bras de Alportel – Tavira, 194 km). Etixx – Quick-Step came to the front of the peloton right from the gun, and together with Lotto-Soudal controlled the four-man breakaway who took off at the start of the day: Guillaume De Almeida (Radio Popular), Charles Planet (Novo Nordisk), Ivan Savitskiy (Gazprom-Rusvelo) and Adam Stachowiak (Verva-ActiveJet). As the gap was being cut down, the peloton also witnessed two incidents involving André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) and Geraint Thomas (Sky): the German sprinter hit the ground in a crash, while the Welshman – second in the general classification – punctured. Both were able to return to the main group, just as the peloton was bringing the four escapees back.
After being protected by his Etixx – Quick-Step teammates throughout the day, Marcel Kittel put on another big sprint and roared across the finish line with his arms up in celebration of his 5th victory of the season, following the three he scored in Dubai and the one he got at the start of the week in Portugal. The dominant win he landed ahead of Wouter Wippert (Cannondale) and Jens Debusschere (Lotto-Soudal) in Tavira – same town which witnessed a Tony Martin success three years ago – helped Marcel open a bigger gap in the points standings, which he leads, with just one stage left to go.
“I can’t find the words to express my happiness. We did a great race today and we showed again a fantastic team spirit. We can all be very proud of what we achieved”, Kittel said right after the finish, before going into a more detailed analysis of the last kilometers: “It was a pretty fast and chaotic finale. Fabio Sabatini risked a lot to bring me into a good position, and I can’t thank him enough for his effort. He took me to the front with one kilometer to go and did an incredible lead-out, leaving me to open my sprint in the final 200 meters and finish off the job.”
Today’s victory is of the entire team, because the boys looked after me all the time, controlled the race and made sure I’m in a safe position.
Not only Marcel Kittel was all smiles in Tavira, but also his teammate and countryman Tony Martin, who won the event in 2011 and 2013. Wearing the yellow jersey after the individual time trial in Sagres, the 30-year-old kept his lead and will now go into the last stage with a 3-second gap over Geraint Thomas.
“The stage was more or less relaxed, the riders weren’t nervous and everything was under control until the final 25 kilometers, when things became really hectic and many riders crashed. Even though the last kilometers weren’t easy, we did a perfect job and finished safely, which is equally important. Tomorrow it won’t be easy, but I will give my best and will try to stay with Geraint, although I’m sure attacks will come also from other riders. It’s going to be again a hard day, but I can count on a great team and we’ll see how things go”, Tony Martin said
The 42nd Volta ao Algarve will conclude on Sunday, when the overall rankings will be decided on the Alto de Malhão, a standard feature in the Portuguese race. The climb that comes at the end of stage 5 is short, just under 3 kilometers, but has an average gradient of 8.9%. Although the gaps are usually small on the Malhão, they could prove to be decisive, giving how close the race is.

Friday, February 19: Stage 3, Sagres 18 km individual time trial
Tony Martin on his way to winning the overall lead
The Race:
Here's the stage story as related by stage winner Fabian Cancellara's Trek-Segafredo team.
Fabian Cancellara claimed the win in the stage three 18-kilometer time trial in Volta ao Algarve Friday, crossing the line in 20:57 (51.551 km/h), five seconds quicker than Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) and 28 seconds ahead of Geraint Thomas (Sky).
It was a tricky course with a technical start and windy conditions thrown in to make it a tough test against the clock. "I felt good and powered everything on the road," explained Cancellara. "The race was one-quarter technical in the first part and three-quarters with more power straights. A lot of wind, tail-wind and cross-wind; it was a really tough one.
"After yesterday's hard stage I did not have a huge crazy expectation of going for the win. I knew I started early, and with Martin and Thomas starting so late… so I just focused on myself, on my performance. I did my usual warm-up, and I had good feelings on the trainer, and in this situation, with my experience, I knew with these feelings that I was good, and mentally this helped me.
And then it was waiting, waiting on the hotseat. I am kind of surprised, but on the other hand super happy about the win."
At the 11.3-kilometer intermediate split, Martin was eight seconds ahead of Cancellara, and Thomas came across in the same time, but the final seven kilometers proved crucial. Both Martin and Thomas faded in the latter part of the course while Cancellara maintained his strong pace.
"I don't know, I really just powered everything out," answered Cancellara when asked if he had a planned his pace perfectly. "I was going 70km/h on certain parts of the course back to the finish. I don't know if you can say I calculated the pace; I knew it was going to be a 21-minute race, and I just gave it all knowing what the effort would be. When you have good feelings, and you know that you are going fast, then when you also hear from the car from Dirk [Demol, director] in the radio – and they know me so well – that helped me to power out even more, and this is also what is important. I don't say I was flying home, but I was powering home."
It is the second victory for Cancellara this year, another positive sign ahead of the cobbled Classics where he will strive to finish his career on top and make amends for a crash-marred 2014 that caused him to miss the entire spring campaign.
"I don't say that today's win gives me more confidence because the confidence I need is more from races like Tirreno-Adriatico because this will show me that I am in the right way," added Cancellara. "There is still some work to do; next week I will take a small rest and move on again with Strade [Bianche] and Tirreno. I still need more, because I need to compete with the others who have been racing in Qatar and Oman. I am just enjoying riding my bike, riding the races, and this makes me feel relaxed. To take another win on top is super cool for myself and super nice for the team and for the motivation for everyone."
And here's the stage story from race leader Tony Martin's Etixx-Quick Step team:
The general classification leader of the Volta ao Algarve changed for the second time in as many days, following stage 3. After teammate Marcel Kittel and Luis Leon Sanchez, now Tony Martin was the one to go at the top of the overall standings, following a solid effort on Friday's 18 km-long individual time trial. Tony, triple world champion of the discipline, was runner-up in the stage won by Fabian Cancellara, missing on the victory for only 5 seconds, but his ride was very impressive, considering he was among the last 20 cyclists to start the stage, in a moment of the day when the wind had already changed its direction.
In the general classification, Tony Martin holds a 3-second advantage over Geraint Thomas (Sky), with Ion Izagirre (Movistar) in third, 20 seconds behind the Etixx – Quick-Step rider. Leader of the race at the start of the day, Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) was the last to roll down the ramp, but crashed in a roundabout and because of the injuries sustained he retired and was taken to the hospital.
A regular at the Volta ao Algarve, a race he won on two occasions (2011 and 2013), Tony Martin talked at the finish about his ride and the goals he has for the remaining of the week: "I am happy with my performance, but not so content with the result. It was pretty hard today with the headwind, but I'm not looking for excuses. Fabian was stronger, and that's that. I now look towards tomorrow and helping Marcel. After that, we'll sit down and talk about the last day. Of course, I want to keep the yellow jersey now, but it won't be easy, because there are many top riders here. Still, I am confident, because I have a very strong team, and we'll just see how things will pan out on the final day."
On Saturday, the sprinters will fancy their chances of taking the victory, despite a rolling terrain, that could give the attackers some ideas. The penultimate stage (194 kilometers) will start in S. Bras de Alportel and conclude in Tavira, a city which will host a Volta ao Algarve finish for the first time in two years, the previous visit recording the win of Tony Martin, one of the most successful riders in the race's history.

Stage 3 profile
Thursday, February 18: Stage 2, Lagoa - Alto da Fóia (Monchique), 198.6 km
Luis Leon Sanchez wins stage 2 ahead of Geraint Thomas
The Race: This was a tough one. A look at the stage profile shows that was to be a day for the mountain goats.
Seven riders scooted off the front, but the teams with the good climbers had no intention of letting these fugitives win the day. With about sixty kilometers remaining, as the road began to point to the sky, the escapees were rounded up and it was game on.
There were numerous attacks, but no one was able to get any real distance.
On the final monster climb, Jon Izaguirre made a big move and only near the end did Geraint Thomas drop the hammer. But a stage win was not in the cards for the Sky rider. Luis Leon Sanchez blasted by him to take the day and the overall race lead.
After the race Sanchez had this to say, "I’m super happy for today victory in front of so many super strong rivals!"
"I knew my condition was good but I didn’t know how I could perform on an uphill finish like this" explained the European Champion of the Astana Pro Team "when Thomas attacked I was looking at Contador waiting for his reply. The wind was so strong on our left but I had good legs. Then I decided to reply myself and I had been able to overtake Thomas and win this difficult stage.
"I want to thank all my teammates who really helped my today. Also, a special dedication is for my family who is doing many sacrifice with me so many days away from home… this win is a way to say thanks" continued Sanchez.
"Tomorrow there is the individual time trial where normally I’m quite good… let’s see what will happen."Complete Results:

Stage 2 profile
Wednesday, February 17: Stage 1, Lagos - Albufeira, 163.6 km
Marcel Kittel wins the first stage
The Race:
Here's the stage story as told by the team of stage winner Marcel Kittel.
Riding the Volta ao Algarve for the first time in his career, the German took stage 1 by the scruff of the neck and scored his fourth victory of the season.
Marcel Kittel is in scintillating form, and he proved this once again, by winning the inaugural stage (Lagos – Albufeira, 163.6 km) of the 42nd Volta ao Algarve, a race for which Etixx – Quick-Step assembled a very strong team, that also includes Tom Boonen, Yves Lampaert, Tony Martin, Fabio Sabatini, Zdenek Stybar, Niki Terpstra and Julien Vermote.
Only three men went into the breakaway on Wednesday – Domingos Gonçalves (Caja Rural), Kamil Gradek (Verva-ActiveJet) and Alexandr Kolobnev (Gazprom-Rusvelo) – but they managed to open a big gap of almost seven minutes, which meant the sprinters' teams had to pull hard in order to catch them. As a result, Etixx – Quick-Step and Lotto-Soudal shared duties at the front and brought the escapees back inside the last ten kilometers.
In a crash-marred finale, two of the team's riders hit the ground – Yves Lampaert, with 8 kilometers to go, and Fabio Sabatini, in the last roundabout – but fortunately both climbed back on the bike and completed the stage. In the first incident, also Tom Boonen was involved, while he was moving up to the front of the peloton following a flat tire. The 2005 world champion avoided the crash, but broke his front wheel and had to wait for a new bike, and after getting it, he arrived at the finish together with Lampaert.
Despite these setbacks, Etixx – Quick-Step kept its composure on the tricky last part of the course, which included an undulating terrain, and delivered Marcel Kittel in an excellent position, allowing the German to launch his powerful sprint and record his fourth win of the season, ahead of fellow countryman André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) and Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo). The victory he scored in Albufeira came one year after another Etixx – Quick-Step rider, Gianni Meersman, won in the same city and donned the yellow jersey.
"It wasn't an easy day, and we were aware of that, but we took it as a challenge, because we wanted to prove that we can win also on such a finish. We stayed calm, came at the front before the last roundabout, and it all worked well in the end", said the 27-year-old, who's leading a race for the second time this season, following the Dubai Tour, which he won at the beginning of the month.
The German, who will wear the yellow jersey on Thursday, continued: "It's a good start for us here in Portugal. As a matter of fact, the overall picture makes us happy and proud, because we have enjoyed an excellent start to the season, and I am very grateful for that. My goal in Algarve was to take a stage and I did it against a quality field, which is very important for my confidence. Now, the team will be more relaxed, will take things day by day and we'll see if we will get another shot at a win".
Volta ao Algarve will continue with stage 2, that's going to include four categorized climbs, including the Alto da Foia (first category), which features at the finish. The 7.5 km-long ascent, averaging 5.8%, was first used in the races 14 years ago, and now returns on the course for the queen-stage that could lead to some big gaps in the general classification.
And here's more info from the race organizer:
Marcel Kittel (Etixx-QuickStep) and André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) confirmed the initial previews, and the first stage of the Tour of Algarve finished in Albufeira with a duel between the two best sprinters of the peloton.
The stage ended with a fast sprint that thrilled the large crowd in Albufeira at the end of the 163.6 km stage from Lagos. Both Kittel and Greipel reaffirmed their powerful start to the season, but it was Kittel to raise his arms and take the first Cyclin’Portugal yellow leader jersey. Greipel finished second leaving the third place for Belgian rider Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo).
Bonuses at the finish placed Marcel Kittel with a lead of 4 seconds over Greipel and with a margin of 6 seconds to Stuyven. Among the candidates to victory in the general classification, the Portuguese rider Tiago Machado (Katusha) was the best, cutting the line in seventh position.
Marcel Kittel, in his fourth success of the year, is also the leader in the points classification and thereby also earned the green Tourism of the Algarve jersey. The Polish rider Kamil Gradek (Verva ActiveJet) entered the podium to wear the blue Liberty Seguros jersey as the best climber. Gradek embarked on an attack along with Portuguese rider Domingos Gonçalves (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and Alexandr Kolobnev (Gazprom-RusVelo) for more than 150 km. However, his initiative succumbed with 10 km to go due to the high chasing pace in the peloton, led by Lotto Soudal and Etixx-QuickStep.
Tomorrow, Colombian rider Sebastian Henao (Team Sky) will start the second stage wearing the white Fundação do Desporto jersey as the best young rider. The second stage is considered the Queen stage of the race, and the peloton will face 198.6 km, starting in Lagoa and finishing at the top of Foia, Monchique.
The finish line coincides with a first category climb, in the highest point in the Algarve, but the difficulties will begin much earlier. The first turning point of the race will be the ascent to Picota on a narrow and very steep road, meaning the General Classification contenders will have to fight for the right position on the climb in order to avoid losing too much time.
“It was a good start of the Tour of Algarve for our team. We were calm, we organized the sprint, and the final launch was perfect. ‘Chapeau’ to my companions. It´s February, it´s too early to analyze this win and predict the rest of the year. I can be confident, but it´s too early for the big tests. I know what it is to start the season poorly, so it´s very important to win early, especially with a new team. ” – Marcel Kittel, stage winner and leader of the race
“Going for a breakaway was the main goal. I felt good, and I managed to win all the sprints and the mountains classification. I like racing in Algarve, the weather is good, and the roads are good. Tomorrow is a new day, those who fight for the general classifications will be at the front. It won’t be easy, but I’ll try to get away again and defend this jersey ” – Kamil Gradek, mountains classification leader
