Na Portugalskem se bo danes odvila zadnja etapa Dirke po Algarveju. To bo posamični kronometer, ki se zaključi z vzponom. Primož Roglič računa, da na takšni trasi lahko nadomesti zaostanek in se zavihti na vrh skupnega seštevka.
Po štirih dneh dirkanja, kjer je bila za spremembe v skupnem seštevku na voljo le ena etapa, kolesarje na zaključni etapi čaka odločilni kronometer.
Premagati bo potrebno 19,6 kilometra dolgo traso, ki bo že v prvem delu precej valovita, a ključni del pride na vrsto v zadnjih dveh kilometrih.
Tam se bodo kolesarji povzpeli na Alto de Malhao, ki ponuja povprečni naklon kar 9,3 %. A morda ta številka celo nekoliko zavaja, saj povprečje znižujeta dva položnejša odseka pri vrhu. Večina klanca namreč presega naklon 10 %, na osrednjem delu pa ponudi celo naklon preko 14 %.
Majhne razlike pri vrhu
O skupnem zmagovalcu se bo zagotovo odločalo na današnji etapi. Razlike pri vrhu so majhne in praktično vsi kolesarji do 15. mesta imajo še teoretične možnosti, da se zavihtijo na vrh.
Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe) po štirih dneh dirkanja zaostaja 23 sekund za vodilnim Janom Christenom (UAE Emirates-XRG), ki se dobro znajde tudi na kronometru. Vseeno gre pričakovati, da bo slovenski as danes postavil boljši čas.
Tik pod vrhom je še en izmed neposrednih tekmecev Primoža Rogliča. Joao Almeida (UAE Emirates-XRG) ima 19 sekund prednosti pred Slovencem in se resno spogleduje s skupno zmago na domači dirki.
Potrebno je izpostaviti še Jonasa Vingegaarda (Visma-Lease a Bike), ki se nahaja le mesto pred Rogličem in ima 3 sekunde prednosti pred članom Red Bull-Bore-hansgrohe.
Primož Roglič v lov na zmago ob 17.08
Slovenski navdušenci kolesarstva si brez težav zgodaj popoldne vzamete čas za ogled UAE Toura, kjer je Tadej Pogačar tik pred skupno zmago. Slovenski predstavniki na Dirki po Algarveju se bodo na delo namreč podali šele v kasnejših popoldanskih urah.
Kot prvi Slovenec se bo po štartni klančini zapeljal Gal Glivar (Alpecin-Deceuninck), ki ga bomo lahko pospremili ob 16.12.
Točno pol ure kasneje (16.42) se bo na štartu pojavil Jan Tratnik (Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe), ki ima za seboj odlično dirko in je tudi v skupnem seštevku postavljen visoko. Zaradi zaključnega vzpona ne sodi v najožji krog favoritov, vseeno pa si želi odpeljati dober kronometer.
Kot zadnji Slovenec pa se bo predstavil Primož Roglič. Njegov nastop bo precej bolj rezultatsko usmerjen, saj je cilj jasen – etapna in skupna zmaga. Svoj poskus na jugu Portugalske bo začel ob 17.08, v cilju pa ga lahko pričakujemo slabih 30 minut kasneje.
