The Basque team driver was three seconds behind last year’s Grandíssima winner Mauricio Moreira (Glassdrive) in the time trial. The third fastest time was for the yellow jersey, who spent 26 seconds more. The best Portuguese this Sunday was António Carvalho (ABTF Betão Feirense), who set the fourth best time, which also moved him up in the overall standings and placed on the podium, a respectable third place.
