Lisbon will welcome a stage of the Volta a Portugal in 2009. City spokesman Manuel Brito told todociclismo.com that the capital "is lacking great events, and the Volta a Portugal will be a reality in 2009."
The Volta last visited Lisbon in 2006. Unlike the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España, the Volta does not end in the nation's capital, but usually somewhere in the north of the country, where there is more interest in cycling. (SW)
