Cav' Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 The 2017 running of the February race will closely resemble this year's edition, with stages for sprinters, time trial specialists and climbers alike. The Volta will kick off with a 180.3km opening stage from Albufeira to Lagos, one for the fast finishers. Marcel Kittel (Etixx - Quick-Step) won this year's sprinters' opener in Lagos. As in 2016, the race continues with a second stage that climbs the Alto da Fóia, the first real test for the GC hopefuls. Stage 3 mirrors the third stage of the 2016 race with an 18km individual time trial around Sagres. Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo) nabbed his first TT win of the season there this past February. A mostly flat 203.4km fourth stage will likely give the sprinters their second opportunity before an up-and-down final stage of the race from Loulé to the top of the Malhão climb. Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) nabbed the stage victory there earlier this season, with Sky's Geraint Thomas finishing fifth on the day to secure a second straight GC win. Already the preferred tune-up race for a number of riders looking to start the season with a varied parcours and a high level of competition, an upgraded Algarve expects a strong contingent of riders for the upcoming edition, with at least 10 WorldTour teams among those planning to make the start. 1st stage http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-1-1486480290.png http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-1-1486480282.jpg 2nd stage http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-2-1486480302.png http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-2-1486480297.jpg 3rd stage http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-3-1486480316.png http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-3-1486480309.jpg 4th stage http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-4-1486480334.png http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-4-1486480327.jpg 5th stage http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-5-1486480346.png http://www.procyclingstats.com/races/profilesmaps/201702/original/volta-ao-algarve-em-bicicleta-2017-stage-5-1486480340.jpg

Cav' Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Starts today Favorites: Primož Roglič – no one is really sure what happened to him in the Valenciana TTT, looks like it was just a bad day. He certainly returned to form in the other stages, looking like the rider Lotto-Jumbo expected to see. He was 5th here in 2016, but he’ll certainly want more after a strong winter. The TT is good for him, as are the two punchy climbs. He’s a big contender for the podium. Luis Leon Sanchez – was looking very strong here in 2016, winning the Foia stage, but he was a DNF in the TT. It’s a race he can do well in, he was 5th here in 2015. He’s a rider that already has decent racing in his legs, thanks to the Tour Down Under. His 16th place finish on GC was a solid start to the year. He will certainly be shooting for a podium spot. José Gonçalves – I really hope he gets the nod from Katusha. After joining from Caja-Rural, he will do as told by the team. They arrive with Tony Martin and Simon Spilak, it’s unlikely that Jose will be team leader, but having multiple options will be good for the team. The Portuguese star would love to do well on home roads. Tony Gallopin – he arrives fresh from winning the TT in Besseges, but just again failed to take the GC. A good TT would be a massive help in this race, but at 18km it’s hard to see Gallopin contesting for that stage. In theory, the climbing stages should suit him. He finished 6th here in 2016 and would hope to make the podium this year. Michal Kwiatkowski – Team Sky have a proud record in this race, we shall see if the Pole can continue the good run. The TT and short climbs are ideal for him, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen him contend in stage races. On his day, the former world champion, is as good as any. It would be nice to see him start the season well. The 18km TT eliminates riders like Dan Martin and Amaro Antunes, who will have to be happy challenging for stage glory.
Cav' Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 No 237, Shaun-Nick Bester participating with Tavira. Hope he does well, I want him to move to a better team next season.
