After
crashing in sight of the line at stage two, he was very disappointed with the result and drew motivation from it today: "Today I was there in the finale and first I thought about attacking on the last 300m, but again it was quite windy, and I decided to wait for the very last moment. My timing was right, and I was able to pass Daniel. This is my second victory for BORA – hansgrohe, but my first together with the team as I was racing alone in Colombia. Therefore, this is a special day for me.“
Higuita is set to have a busy spring as he builds towards the Ardennes classics, however with important races beforehand in Catalunya and the Basque Country. The Colombian is off to a very strong start of the season with a win in the national championships and now in the Algarve, so it's safe to say his time with BORA is off on the right foot.
