Portuguese cyclist Venceslau Fernandes (AP Hotels&Resorts-Tavira-Farense) was expelled from the 84th Tour of Portugal this Monday after panel members alleged an aggravated violation of “actual routes between runners”.
After the end of the fifth stage, which was won by teammate Delio Fernandez, the 27-year-old rider was ruled out, and the race stewards mentioned the attack without naming another rider.
However, the tirade’s communiqué mentions that Spaniard Oscar Pelegri (Burgos-BH) was penalized for “dangerous behavior between runners”, with the penalty clause being the same that led to the exclusion of Wenceslau Fernandes.
The Galician Delio Fernández won the fifth stage today, tying 184.3 kilometers between Masao and Alto da Torre, ahead of the general by five seconds ahead of the Swiss Colin Stussy, Sui (Voralberg) and by 10 seconds over the Spaniard Chomin Huaristi (Euskaltel-Euskadi). ), who were respectively second and third overall, the same positions as in the stage.
