And the breakaway i actually gaining time while they are puling.Looks like the race is exploding in the penultimate climb, looks good for proper racing.
Edit: This may be the first time that I have ever seen a non-Portuguese team pulling on the climb, looks very interesting.
Edit: Looks like Rally is actually losing time to the break, still waiting W52 to chase down Mestre
I see that you know your portuguese cyclingLooks like the race is exploding in the penultimate climb, looks good for proper racing.

It is puzzling indeedI cannot understand the fact that W52's tactics do make sense here. Is this race actually the Volta, or are we watching TDF?
Yes, but what if he pulls super hard for Amaro, only for the later to get dropped by Figueiredo?It's a special edition afterall.
Mestre is pulling for how many kms?! Jesus...
His climbing style reminds me a bit of Contador, rather wide shoulders and always dancing on the pedals.Frederico is looking very chill. This should be interesting.
Yeah, wtf is going on?The climbing speed looks quite human to me, I may be wrong though.
Looks like Carvalho isn't willing to bury himself for Brandao and give up on his own gc ambitions, so he sets a moderate pace.Well, at least RP is trying something, unlike Epafel.
I guess Benta is one of these Portuguese guys where they show their potential at 33 years young.
