From the 19th to 23rd February the peloton will be tackling the
Volta ao Algarve, one of the races that has most evolved at international level and features a whole array of stars every year - when it comes to the climbers, sprinters and classics specialists. We
preview the race stage 5.
The race ends with a time-trial this year, and it will be an exciting one. 19.6 kilometers in distance, the riders will be racing against the clock from Salir to the famous Alto do Malhão. The final 2-kilometer climb averages 9% and instead of hosting a summit finish this year, it will host the finish line of the race's time-trial.
