Participants Tour of the Algarve 2025 | Vingegaard, Van Aert, and Roglic headliners among other strong contenders
Cycling
The Tour of the Algarve is one of the most popular preparatory races of the year. The five-day race in southern Portugal attracts numerous classic men and tour riders, including Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert, and Primoz Roglic on the starting list. IDLProCycling.com provides you with a list of the contenders.
Visma | Lease a Bike will send their top riders to the stage race, who will also receive support from Tiesj Benoot, Sepp Kuss, and Wilco Kelderman, among others. "It proved to be the perfect preparation for the Flemish opening weekend. I came third in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and won Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. So we thought it was a good idea to add the Volta ao Algarve to my program again," Van Aert said.
"There are a few stages where I see opportunities to aim for victory, although the main thing is to take the next step in my preparation for the big spring classics. We will certainly be aiming for the overall victory with Jonas as well. I'm looking forward to my first races on the road," said the Belgian.
The Tour of the Algarve features five stages. Three offer opportunities for fast men, while the stage to Foia is usually for punchers or climbers. For the first time, the tour will conclude with an individual time trial to Malhao, where, in recent years, the race has been decided at the normal stage. In addition to Van Aert and Vingegaard, the Portuguese race organization also announced Roglic, Filippo Ganna, Julian Alaphilippe, and Joao Almeida.

MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
