Tour of the Algarve 2025: Vingegaard meets Roglič - stages, start list, TV coverage

· 19.02.2025
The Tour of the Algarve is traditionally the first race of the season for many stars of the cycling scene. This year is no exception for the two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) and Primož Roglič from Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe. They are joined by other stars such as Wout van Aert (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates - XRG), Biniam Girmay (Intermarché - Wanty) or Arnaud De Lie (Lotto).
With Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates - XRG), Maximilian Schachmann (Soudal Quick-Step), Jonas Koch (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe), Juri Hollmann (Alpecin - Deceuninck), Jonas Rutsch (Intermarché - Wanty), John Degenkolb (Team Picnic PostNL), Emanuel Buchmann (Cofidis) and Florian Stork (Tudor Pro Cycling Team), there are a total of eight German professionals at the start.
First held in 1960, the stage race has developed into one of the most important cycling races in Portugal. In 2025, the tour comprises five stages, the fifth of which is an individual time trial. The remaining stages offer both mountain finishes and flat sections, so that different types of riders are challenged. The traditional highlights include the mountain finishes on Alto da Foia and Alto do Malhão, which will once again be part of the race in 2025. The latter is part of the individual time trial on the last day of the tour.
The Tour of the Algarve is part of the UCI Pro Series, a level below the UCI World Tour, and attracts numerous top teams from all over the world. In recent years, the Volta ao Algarve has become increasingly important, as many cycling stars use it as preparation for the spring classics or major races such as Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico.
The list of winners of the Tour of the Algarve reads like a Who's Who of cycling, with names such as Alberto Contador, Geraint Thomas and Remco Evenepoel, who won in 2024 but is not at the start this year.
