Jonathan Klaiver Caicedo made a solo breakaway in the seventh stage of the Volta a Portugal em Bicicleta, the Sabugal-Torre with a 179-kilometer uphill finish. The Ecuadorian from Petrolike caught and dropped the breakaway rider Gonzalo Leaca (Credibom LA Aluminios Marcos Car), who had been the day's protagonist with a long solo move and a maximum advantage of over 5 minutes. Caicedo thus imposed himself by anticipating the overall leader Artem Nych (Anicolor Tien 21), with an exhausted Leaca (Credibom LA Aluminios Marcos Car) finishing third.
