[42nd Volta Algarve 2016 / Stage 1]

Providing a first taste of one of this season’s most anticipated
sprinter duels, Marcel Kittel prevailed over fellow German André
Greipel in the stage 1 sprint at Volta ao Algarve Wednesday in
Portugal.

“It wasn’t an easy day, and we were aware of that, but we took it
as a challenge, because we wanted to prove that we can win also on
such a finish,” said Kittel. “We stayed calm, came at the front
before the last roundabout, and it all worked well in the end.”

Kittel, riding in his first season with Etixx – Quick-Step, got
the better of his Lotto-Soudal rival at the end of a 163.6km stage
from Lagos to Albufeira. Trek – Segafredo’s Jasper Stuyven rounded
out the podium in third.

At one point, the day’s three-man breakaway of Domingos Gonçalves
(Caja Rural – Seguros RGA), Alexandr Kolobnev (Gazprom – Rusvelo),
and Kamil Gradek (Verva ActiveJet) had a lead of more than six
minutes. They were brought back inside of the final 10 kilometers
as the top teams jockeyed to set up a sprint. There was a crash in
the final kilometer, but it did not upset sharp end of the
peloton.

Contador was safely in the bunch

Boonen took it easy it seems finishing Lanterne Rouge

A problem in Portugal, and around Albufeira in particular, are the
ubiquitous "roundabouts". They were of course no fun for the
riders but they seem to have handled them successfully.

[Davey curses them continually when driving around the Algarve,
and adding the multiplicity of One-Way streets, driving around
here (Davey lives in Albufeira) can be a nightmare]
