Today sees the start of the 50th edition of the
Volta ao Algarve cycling race, a five-day event that will take place on Portuguese roads until next Sunday.
All the athletes taking part in this edition of the race are already known, but there is one in particular who will be the center of attention in the "Algarvia". The 38-year-old Welshman from
Ineos Grenadiers,
Geraint Thomas, will be starting his 18th season as a professional cyclist at the Volta ao Algarve, a race he has won twice, in 2015 and 2016 in the Sky jersey.
