80ª Volta a Portugal em Bicicleta (1 a 12 de Agosto de 2018)

[luckyboy]

Really tough for Rodrigues caught 300m from the top of Senhora da Graça...

Disappointing that Errazkin dropped quite early in the climb. Just a day too far, I guess.

though for him for sure, but the TM had what he deserved. Benta dropping was also something nice to see

still kept his youth jersey, and the spot in top10, 7th. a great Volta for him

Sporting tried to shake the stage, but the rythm W52 was putting in the final climb was too strong for any attack. Figueiredo and Marque tried and were soon caught. Brandão prefered to cut the losses.

Alarcon is a level above everyone. Not much the other teams could do.

after all Errazkin had a huge drop in GC

W52 doing a good USPS/Sky impersonation on the final climb. There was really only going to be one winner, but it was tough for Rodrigues. So near yet ...

It's weird that teams like Efapel or Sporting do not have TT bikes. Or, the riders in these somehow prefer road bikes today, which does not make much sense.

its a hard TT. Brandão, a few minutes before the start said he was still undecided on which bike to use

maybe with the more detailed Lasterketa profile, you see how hard it is
