"I can't believe it": Even Magnus Cort Nielsen is shocked by his daring victory in Stage 3 of Volta ao Algarve
Cycling
Magnus Cort Nielsen did another incredible victory in Volta ao Algarve, this time in the flat terrain of stage 3. The EF Education-EasyPost rider managed to form a late stage breakaway with important riders like Filippo Ganna and Tobias Foss great for the flat terrain that managed to grant him another surprising stage victory.
"I can't believe it, after that intermediate sprint we had a nice gap. The guys from INEOS Grenadiers were very keen to ride full on with that group. Ganna is really a machine, and he was there too. I then decided to ride full speed with them too", said Cort in the post race interview.
The Elite group of 6 riders consisting in Rui Costa (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Thomas Pidcock (INEOS-Grenadiers) ,Valentin Madouas and the aforementioned Magnus Cort Nielsen, Filippo Ganna and Tobias Foss took advantage of the surprise effect and cooperated very well along the last part of stage.
'Only if I started early did I still have a chance of winning the stage. I had to hope that starting early would cause confusion for the other guys.", Magnus Cort Nielsen concluded.

- Podcast sounds great. Two so called experts stating the f*cking obvious.wrsty04-11-2026
- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
- You beat me to it. Should he make a full recovery (likely) and go light early in the year. One, two, three. Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Should he be on a Feel-Like-He's-Fixin'-to-Die High.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- The deciding factor may be the (TBD) number of (any type of) kilometers without Pogacar.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- Unexplained chronic fatigue is an all too common bitch. The hard to find definitive answer may lie buried in gut mechanisms. A mystery of the deep.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- It's weird to say Evenepoel would be making a "serious mistake by adding the 2027 Giro d'Italia to his calendar, warning that such a decision could even be interpreted as a lack of confidence in his ability to win the Tour de France." It may well be a mistake but with so many commentators (of all sorts) continuously claiming almost everything Remco does as being a mistake, almost nobody should care what the pundits and the disparagers should say. His team may not want him to do the Giro, and that matters. But it's possibly or probably up to Remco to decide and it may not have to be decided on until a month or so ahead of the race. Yes , Remco is inconsistent much like the majority of the best riders but he's enjoying a period of not having been recently injured (or sick). Whatever he does he need not be concerned with critics who will second guess any perceived failure no matter what. I suspect he will have enough other races on his schedule so he won't be considering it. But the worst reason to not race it is because of what some will say - humorous that be.Yepperoni04-11-2026
