Jonas Vingegaard finds the road to success again and conquers the fifth and final stage of the Volta ao Algarve, the Salir - Malhão of 19.6 km, beating his teammate Wout Van Aert by 11 seconds. A challenging time trial, which closed the Portuguese race, with the last two kilometers at an average gradient of 9.1% and a final stretch even at 14%.

The Dane from Visma Lease a Bike, who hadn't won since last August at the Tour de Pologne, pedaled in 28'25" at an average of 41.370 kmh, preceding Van Aert as mentioned, while an excellent Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) finished third, 15 seconds behind.

Vingegaard immediately doubles his victory by also winning the overall title in the Portuguese stage race ahead of Almeida, 15 seconds behind, while Belgian De Plus (who punctured during the time trial and was forced to change bikes) completes the podium 26 seconds back.

Filippo Ganna, who set the best time at the first intermediate point after 8.1 km, finished his race in fourteenth place with a 51-second gap from Vingegaard.
