Pidcock cheers on the Alto do Malhão

The Alto do Malhão was the executioner of the Volta ao Algarve again this year. thomas pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) won the exciting section over 177,9 kilometers after the start in Albufeira. The Brit countered an attempt by the Portuguese in the final meters Joao almeida (UAE), who ended the day in second place, just a second behind, and with the yellow jersey in mind, now has the best chance of overall victory. The new leader of the Volta ao Algarve is today's winner of the day. The German team Bora - hansgrohe can also be satisfied with today's result. Sergio Higuita and Jay Hindley crossed the finish line in fourth and fifth place respectively. In the final time trial, however, they should hardly have a chance on the podium.
