Look at this Guy! VA25-7
With less than a kilometer to go to the summit finish at Alto de Foia, Jan Cristen (UAE Team Emirates) attacked his erstwhile breakaway companions. It looked like he would have enough of a gap to claim the stage when his teammate/team leader, Joao Almeida bridged up to him within sight of the line. Almeida looked back to make sure his GC rivals were far enough back to ensure he would gain time over them. He then gestured his congratulations to his teammate who claimed the stage, and the first leader's jersey of the 51st Volta ao Algrave. Now there is a way to pay back one of the guys who rides in support of you!
