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.
Stage 5: Faro - Alto do Malhão, 165.4 kilometers

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
