Mauricio Moreira of the Sabgal / Anicolor team, winner of the 2022 Volta a Portugal, abandoned the race on stage 4.
The Uruguayan rider from the Águeda team didn't feel well on the climb to Famalicão da Serra and was supported by his teammates, but it was clear that something wasn't right with the Sabgal rider. Following this support, Luís Mendonça was warned by the race commissaires for putting his hands on his teammate's back. Shortly afterwards, Mauricio Moreira was receiving medical support when he stopped pedalling, put his foot down and fell to the ground completely exhausted.
An impressive image of sacrifice. Mauricio Moreira was taken to hospital and is an important casualty in the Águeda team's strategy for the Volta a Portugal. Watch the moment in the video below!

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
