After stage 4 of the Volta ao Algarve and a stinging attack from Astana's Miguel Angel Lopez, Remco Evenepoel is now tied on time with two riders - Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation) and Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) - with Lopez in fourth one second further back and Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) a further two seconds adrift.

In normal races, the closeness of the top riders in the overall standings would make for a suspenseful time trial, but in this one Evenepoel, the silver medalist in the UCI Road World Championships time trial and overall winner already at the Vuelta a San Juan, the 20-year-old is the odds-on favourite for the victory.
