Nice placing from Frederico Figueiredo again, he's been very consistent this season. I hope he takes a stage win in the Volta.

Now off to the Volta that starts at the end of the month. None of the big guns showed much here so they'll be flying there!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Força Hernâni... I still believe!

 

[trevim]

I don't what any of this means but Vitor Gamito just posted this. Total anihilation or grupetto?

 

[trevim]

Provisional start list: http://www.volta-portugal.com/_conteudos/etapa0/PDF_publico/ListaPreInscritos-22julho2014.pdf

Starring Stefan Schumacher, Luis Leon Sanchez and Paco Mancebo

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Race starts today with a prologue:

15:00 (Local), the first rider will be on the ramp.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

So no Mancebo.

I hope 4-72 Colombia rips this up; I couldn't stand another win by a third-class Spaniard or some 40-year-old Sousa/Silva/Ferreira whatever guy.

 

[jens_attacks]

so sabido vs schumacher today

i hope rui sousa and vitor gamito will have a nice ride

 

[Arnout]

will there be a livestream or will there be a summary I can watch without knowing the winner beforehand?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Live stream should be available around 17:00 (CET)

 

[trevim]

I want Luis Leon Sanchez to win today and final GC. It's about time a high profile rider wins this. Also Frederico Figueiredo, Rafael Reis and Ruben Guerreiro to shine and get the hell out of Portugal

Guerreiro is not riding this race.

 

[trevim]

Guerreiro is not riding this race.

Are you sure? I seem to remember he was part of the Portugal National Team. I found it weird considering he just won Volta do Futuro but hey this is Portugal, it wouldn't be surprising.

He's not in the Prologue start order.

He's not in the Prologue start order.

Yep, he's not in the race.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Yay!.
They bring the old version of the Volta music back and dump that noise of last year.
Really odd to be watching the race on my telebox in the week after the Tour.
