Jan Christen, a 20-year-old rider from UAE Team Emirates-XRG, is poised for a pivotal moment in his career at the Volta ao Algarve. As the race progresses to a challenging 19.6-kilometre time trial that culminates in a steep ascent at Alto do Malhão, Christen is focused on delivering an impressive performance. With notable competitors closely trailing him, he aims to join the ranks of the youngest winners, mirroring Tadej Pogačar's success in 2019. Christen is determined to set a high pace during this uphill time trial, citing a previous experience in the Tour de Suisse as preparation.
"For me tomorrow is all or nothing; I'm gonna set a high pace right from the start and see if I can keep it up all the way to the finish."
"I'm going to be going at it super strong; otherwise if I explode it's just - not what it could have been."
