This annual 5 day event started in Albufeira on Wednesday and continues until Sunday. It’s not on the scale of the Tour De France, but attracts several of the top teams and this year 194 riders. The official website is at http://voltaaoalgarve.com/en/home-2/
Here are a few pictures I grabbed a few minutes after the start as the riders headed out of Albufeira northwards. Click to see larger size.
The leading group
The Peloton approaches…
…and passes
Then come the support vehicles…
…carrying expensive hardware.
A few stragglers, then they are gone!
