Stage 2 - February 19: Castro Marim-Portimao, 182.0 km
Barbosa takes over
|
Portuguese rider Candido Barbosa (L.A. Pecol) has taken over the lead in the 30th Volta ao Algarve after winning the second stage between Castro Marim and Portimao. Barbosa reversed positions with yesterday's winner Alberto Benito (Antarte) to win the stage, with Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis) finishing in third place.
The 182 kilometre stage was expected to suit the sprinters, containing only two Cat. 3 climbs en route. Frenchman Eric Berthou (RAGT Semences) was the most persistent attacker, getting away in a small group with Kurt Hoevelinck (Jong Vlaanderen 2016), Israel Nuñez (Asc-Vila Do Conde) and Iñaki Isasi (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Berthou was the last rider to be caught, lasting until after the final intermediate sprint in Lagoa with 12 km to go.

With Milanez-Maia, Antarte and LA Pecol doing most of the chasing, it was inevitable that the bunch would regroup before the finish. This time, Barbosa repaid the efforts of his team by winning the stage and taking the lead. Lance Armstrong (USPS) spent much of the day in the company of his teammates towards the front of the peloton, and eventually finished 71st, in the main peloton.
Tomorrow's third stage is from Lagoa to Lagos, passing via the southwestern tip of Portugal and featuring the Cat. 2 climb of Fóia (940m).
