In a tightly contested stage at the Volta ao Algarve, Jonas Vingegaard of Visma-Lease a Bike demonstrated strong early potential but ultimately could not clinch victory. Key team efforts, particularly from Wout van Aert and Ben Tulett, positioned him well for a decisive attack on the final climbs. However, when it came to his moment of acceleration, the effort wasn't enough to outpace rivals like João Almeida and Primož Roglič, leaving Vingegaard's quest for victory unfulfilled this stage.
The underlying message was clear when a Visma-Lease a Bike staff member emerged from behind the winner's podium with a turbo trainer under his arm.
Despite Vingegaard's strong efforts to accelerate and shred the chase group, he ultimately could not secure the win.
