Almeida has covid-19.

Being from the area I can assure that the stretch from Fundão to the end of Alto de Alpedrinha descent is dangerous.

Affini was at 1/200 in the betting markets this morning.

Moreira and Sabgal agreed to part ways. Sabgal press release balmes Moreira for having reached an agreement with another team, while still on contract with Sabgal, as reason for the split. Moreira alluded to that agreement in remarks to the media on 21st November 2023 (!), it adds.

Not the remarks to expect given the circumstances in which Moreira had to give up, risking his well-being, and that he has one more year on his contract. Some conflict arose or was already latent between Moreira and the team.

Sabgal/Anicolor DS said in a post race interview that Artem Nych is now the new team leader. It isn't clear if Mauricio Moreira is going to continue with the team. They are about the same age, Moreira a few months younger.

Another edition with a shady winner. Came from rest day a new rider. Went from not being on top 20 in 2 previous mtf to having one of best times on final climb.

I think the race has been way to easy for Evenepoel to win.

The GC will either be for Eulálio or Stüssi. I think Eulálio needs to be 1 minute ahead for the time-trial. Interesting to see if António Carvalho wil easily fit into the domestique role now.

Armstrong would have trouble winning the Tour against Pogacar.

How would you look at Froome's attack on Finestre today? It doesn't look that impressive.

If he had taken the lead of the group, he wouldn't have won.

Before his announcement, UCI had notified Amaro Antunes for changes registered in his biological passport. The Portuguese Federation is mulling voiding of a winner Volta editions from 2017 to 2021...

I don't know if Ayuso isn't going to be so far ahead of the others that the route ends up being irrelevant. Arinsal and Javalambre may be enough to get a good advantage.

Time to bring back Mont du chat.
