Posted by Editoress on 02/19/15
 

Team Sky's Geraint Thomas won the second stage of the Tour of the Algarve, arriving solo at the line 196.7 kilometres, earning him the overall lead in the GC, points and climbers categories.

Thomas attacked on the last climb, six kilometers from the finish, passing Rein Taaramae (Astana), who had attacked earlier. Taaramae held on to finish 19 seconds back while the Italian Valerio Agnoli (Astana) took the third position, 23 seconds, leading the chase group.

Thomas took the overall jersey, the Points jersey and the climbers jersey at the end of the day.

"Since the start of the Tour of the Algarve and Richie [Porte] and I have been the protected riders. They took me to the last climb, and when I overtook [Rein] Taaramae I set off alone, I felt strong and with good legs. I will do my best and try to keep the jerseys. Richie [Porte] is good in the time trial and will be good to have two cards to play toward the GC, because Saturday's stage is hard. I feel good here in the Algarve. It has good hotels, a fantastic time and I am the leader with three jerseys. What could be better? " said Thomas.

Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies' Mike Woods had a great day as well, finishing 17th, arriving at the same time as 3rd place finisher Agnoli and moving up to 17th overall.
