Preview stage 5. The Volta ao Algarve takes place from the 14 to the 18 of February and is an event that provides opportunities for sprinters, climbers, classics riders and time-trialists.
The final day of racing in Portugal is it's traditional finale at the Alto do Malhão. A day in the hills of the interior of the region. 3000 meters of climbing and two laps of a final circuit that ends with a summit finish. The riders pass through the finish line once with 23 kilometers to go in the Malhão, and then have a 1.1-kilometer long pinch at 10% with 10 kilometers to go. The final ascent then is 2.5 kilometers at 10%, a tough climb where the riders will virtually be on their own and trying to get to the finish as soon as possible.
