Volta ao Algarve 2025 Route stage 5: Salir - Alto do Malhão

Volta ao Algarve 2025 Sunday, 23 February – The final stage of the Volta ao Algarve is quite straightforward. It’s an individual time trial of 19.6 kilometres with a rolling start and a steep climb to finish.

The riders set off at high speed with a slight downhill section before the road gradually starts to rise. That sets the tone, as the route continues to undulate with gentle gradients.
