Volta a Portugal: Victor Langellotti narrowly survives peloton surge to win stage eight
CyclingSaturday, 13 August 2022 at 18:01
The eighth stage of the Volta a Portugal once again saw the breakaway succeed, this time with Burgos-BH emerging victorious as Victor Langellotti came across the line first to take a meaningful win.
The finale in Fafe was a hilly one, it was a difficult day where Langellotti was in the day's breakaway. He managed to go clear in the final kilometers, and just barely managed to hold off the peloton, who almost sprinted over the gap in the final uphill cobbled ascent to the line. Mauricio Moreira was meters away from the win, having finished second, with Scott McGill finishing third.

- That was my first thought. I hope I'm wrong. It would be sad if a great champion behaves like a sore loser. In 2023, after his incredible tt, I never heard Tadej raise suspicions against him (the internet was full of accusations). Remember that in a few months, Jonas, from being very bad in TT (his results were around 100) became a super phenomenon, giving 3 minutes to Wout and 2 minutes to Tadej.
maria2024202426-01-2025 - So far in my life I've broken my left arm, my right arm, my left wrist, my left leg, three collar bones, broken my neck, broken my back, crushed my pelvis, lost a rib, hurt my left kidney and now I broken the same foot twice. Getting old sucks, I still think I'm twenty lolawp25-01-2025
- No matter how amazing MVDP’s ride, no need to use disrespectful titles towards other riders, especially someone like WVA who still rode admirably considering his preparation, his falls snd the fact he still beat all the other riders.Mistermaumau25-01-2025

- I don’t think you’ll find ANY ageing cycling enthusiast who hasn’t gone through this kind of “torture” at least once. As long as it’s not permanent you get over it. Get better safely, I may miss this season but am pretty happy my torn meniscus has healed itself (not a given closing in on 60) well enough to contemplate more racing next year. 2025 will be about recovery and testing but with a new child and heavy renovations I’m looking at it as the luck hidden in bad luck :-)Mistermaumau25-01-2025

- Jonas (probably instructed by Visma) low-key seeding a media cycle about UAE’s carbon monoxide abuse because he knows he’s not at Tadej’s level anymore.mdemartino25-01-2025
- I thought Visma was still using this technique but were about to stop using it soon. Anyway, it will probably be banned soon enough.awp25-01-2025
- I can imagine being super fit and having to wait a while, I broke my foot two weeks ago. It sucks, I hope Remco has another great year and can improve in the Tour. Even if he's still on the third step, maybe the gap won't be so wide.awp25-01-2025
