The second round in a row of the 84th Tour of Portugal and the second victory of the Venezuelan cyclist Leangel Linares (Tavfer-Mortagua) this Friday in Vila Franca de Xira. He is the great protagonist of the Grandíssima, because to the victories in two stages he also adds the yellow jersey of the leader of the overall individual general due to the 10 seconds bonus won at the finish line. This Friday’s 177.3 km race connected Abrantes with Vila Franca de Xira, and was almost always controlled by the team from Mortagua, led by the Galician Gustavo Veloso, who, like Linares, once again dedicated the triumph to Pedro Silva, the founder of the team, who died. two years ago. It was clear that Tawfer wanted a sprint finish and a victory for Linares, and the goals were achieved thanks to the “great work and merit” of the team’s cyclists, Gustavo Veloso stressed. Rafael Reis (Glassdrive) lost the yellow jersey, but this situation was predictable. The one who at the end of the stage was the distributor of water for his colleagues.
