Stefan Kung set the fastest time in the ITT of Stage 5 of Volta ao Algarve. The Groupama-FDJ team rider won the last stage of the race whilst Daniel Martínez took the overall classification by surprise.
Mathias Vacek of Trek-Segafredo set the best time of the time trial for a while only to be beaten later by Nils Politt of Bora-hansgrohe. When there wasn't any rider left to start, time trialist specialist Stefan Kung of Groupama-FDJ was the one with the best time in the finish line.
The other Time Trial specialist and a big favourite for winning the stage and GC Filippo Ganna was a negative surprise since he finished, a contrast to his teammate Daniel Martinez who while not being a specialist did an amazing result, being able to win the overall classification of the race in a very surprising way.
Küng won the time-trial ahead of Rémi Cavagna and Filippo Ganna, whilst Tom Pidcock could not defend his lead. Martínez won the overall classification ahead of his teammate Ganna and Ilan van Wilder.
Oscar Onley of Team DSM was the best rider of the Youth classification. The point's classification was won by Magnus Cort Nielsen of EF Education-EasyPost, Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick-Step) conquered the mountain's classification, and INEOS Grenadiers was the best team of the Teams Classification.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
