Great reports. Especially the 4th stage was great to read with Anton and Martin attacking. Deserved win for him and nice to have two of your riders in the top group.
Nice 6th in the final overall.
Edit: I think your Geox jersey is still an old version. This one here looks more like the jersey they wear in the races.

@ valverde321: Thanks. I try to take interesting shots as I certainly don't have a great graphics card. I've thinking about upgrading my computer for a long time but its not a priority at the moment.
@ roturn: I came in 5th! Give me credit
Thanks for the updated jersey. Whatever came in the 2011 DB is what I am using. I will add it in though.
@ lluuiiggii and baia: Thanks. Its always nice to fulfill sponsor goals, especially since I don't win too much; its one of the only ways to keep them happy.
Volta ao Algarve: February 17-21
As the racing action begins in earnest on the Iberian Peninsula, Caja Rural is in Portugal for the Volta ao Algarve. In its 37th edition, the race highlights the rugged terrain in Southern Portugal. In recent years, Alberto Contador has dominated the event, winning the past two instances. With a lot of question still surrounding his doping case, Contador, nor his Saxo Bank SunGard team are present.
The hardest day should come in Stage 2, on the way to Lagos. The steep climbs that mark the day will cause trouble for many. Additionally, the uphill finish in Malhão will draw out the true contenders. If this this isn't enough to separate the riders, the ending time trial will see a winner crowned.
Stage 1: Estadio Algarve - Albufeira: 154.5km
Stage 2: Sagres - Lagos: 206.6km
Stage 3: Castro Marim - Malhão: 166.4km
Stage 4: VR St. Antonio - Tavira: 166.7km
Stage 5: Lagoa - Portimão: 16.3km (ITT)
Caja Rural:
101. Íñigo Cuesta 102. Oleg Chuzdha 103. Fabricio Ferrari 104. Egoitz Garcia 105. José Herrada 106. Arturo Mora 107. Alexander Ryabkin 108. Joaquín Sobrino
The start list for Caja Rural is about as multi-cultural as it will get. All 3 non-Spaniards on the team roster will start the race. The team is not expecting much from the race, and for 5 of the riders, the Volta ao Algarve will be their first competitive racing of the season.
Íñigo Cuesta is one of the riders opening his season. The veteran rider is just looking to stretch his legs, as most of his goals are in the second half of the season; including competing in an 18th consecutive Vuelta a España.
José Herrada will look to rebound a bit from a poor Tour de San Luis, which saw him finish in 86th, more than 19 minutes off the pace.

Favorites:
A very top-heavy start list, the Volta ao Algarve, much like the other February races, is subject to where the riders are in their fitness. Some are building up for the Spring Classics, while others are simply trying to get kilometers in their legs.
The sprint rivalry between Mark Cavendish (HTC - Highroad) and André Greipel (Omega Pharma - Lotto) will see another chapter written. In Mallorca, Cavendish looked to be the stronger rider, earning a victory in Stage 2. Greipel was unable to find the winning pace.
4. Roman Kreuziger Pro Team Astana
In the Vuelta a Mallorca, Kreuziger showed he was in good early season form. Coming in 2nd overall, Kreuziger may have been the strongest rider, but couldn't shake José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar Team) due to excellent team support. In Algarve, Kreuziger will have the full backing of his team, with Alexandre Vinokourov as a super domestique.
11. Andreas Klöden Team RadioShack
As Klöden builds towards Tirreno-Adriactico, he will lead the RadioShack team. The team has not started the season off well, doing poorly in every race so far. While the main goals are still months away, pressure is starting to build on the team. With Armstrong retired in Texas, Klöden will counted on to step up.
47. Tony Martin HTC - Highroad
Martin lacks the power in the hills of many of the other contenders, but is good enough to hang with them. He illustrated this in Mallorca, on the stage to Deia, hanging with a much Igor Antón (Euskaltel - Euskadi) for much of the day. The time trial on the last day could see the young German surprise.
56. José Joaquín Rojas Movistar Team
A stranger to pre-race GC favorite lists, Rojas finds himself on this list after a very impressive win in Mallorca. Rojas illustrated the strength to get over the climbs, while using his superior finishing power to collect bonus seconds. The terrain in Portugal is a bit tougher, but perhaps Rojas can pull off an astonishing repeat performance.
21. Ryder Hesjedal Team Garmin - Cervélo
A 7th placed finish in last year's Tour de France has seen the spotlight shine on the Canadian. Hesjedal has already stated his goals will be to improve on last years breakthrough performance, but is also building for goals in March. Hesjedal's fitness likely isn't great, but his skill should be enough to see him compete.
1. Alexandre Vinokourov Pro Team Astana
While Vino is acting as Kreuziger's lieutenant in this race, Vino has shown questionable tactics in the past. The veteran Kazakh certainly has the strength to win the event, and his results could very well come down to the team strategy of Astana.

Good luck in Portugal and awesome race presentation as always.

Volta ao Algarve: Stage 1: Estadio Algarve - Albufeira: 154.5km
The Volta ao Algarve starts out with a relatively flat stage to Albufeira. The gorgeous beaches of the city will be enticing to the riders, but, they will have to continue for 4 more stages after this one. As long as the riders can handle the Cerro de São Miguel, 61km into the day, there should be no issues.
Caja Rural wanted a rider in the break today, and Alexander Ryabkin was selected. However, the young Russian did not have the strength to make the decisive move. The team would not be represented in the breakaway today.
Eight riders were a part of the break. They were Blazej Janiaczyk (CCC Polsat Polkowice), Adrián Sáez de Arregi (Orbea Continental), David Belda (Burgos 2016 - Castilla y León), Bram Schmitz (Veranda's Willems - Accent), Stijn Joseph (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator), Raúl Alarcón (Barbot - Efapel), Gabriel Rasch (Team Garmin - Cervélo), and José Luis Roldán (Andalucía Caja Granada).
The breakaway.
Just before the Cerro de São Miguel, 4 more riders left the peloton in search of glory. Again, no Caja Rural rider was amongst them. These riders were Rui Vinhas (LA - Antarte), Alberto Morrás (Onda), Camilo Suárez (Colombia es Pasión - Café de Colombia), and Henrique Casimiro (Tavira - Prio). They were all riders from smaller teams, who missed the initial break. It was evident, their directeur sportifs ordered such a move.
The four worked together well, and were able to connect with the original break right around the first sprint point.
The new break, now 12 strong, went through the 2nd KOM with a lead of 5'32.
A larger, more dangerous breakaway, 60km from the finish.
Despite the increase in size, the breakaway lacked strength. Under the guidance of HTC - Highroad and Movistar Team, the peloton slowly reeled in the breakaway.
They were caught with 8.5km left.
The day had taken a lot out of many of the Caja Rural riders. Joaquín Sobrino, the only sprinter in the squad, was in the red and could not take part in the mass sprint. The best finisher for the team was José Herrada, who crossed the line in 28th.
The day had set up beautifully for fans of sprint finishes. All the big names were at the front when the action started.
Rubén Pérez (Euskaltel - Euskadi) had led out teammate Koldo Fernández. Directly behind the Basque sprinter was José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar Team), Mark Cavendish (HTC - Highroad), and André Greipel (Omega Pharma - Lotto), in that order.
Fernández leads but Rojas is about to make his move, with Cavendish and Greipel in tow.
The four riders moved clear of the peloton. Fernández had made his move too soon, and was quickly passed by all three.
Rojas looked like he was going to hold out, but with 80m to the line, Cavendish found another level, and blasted by the Spaniard.
Cavendish would take the victory, ahead of Rojas and rival Greipel. The big German and his team will have to go back to the drawing board.
Cavendish takes the win; he is 2-0 versus Greipel this year.

Volta ao Algarve: Stage 2: Sagres - Lagos: 166.4km
The peloton starts the day in the town of Henry the Navigator, Sagres. The riders will travel northeast to Lagos. No, not Nigeria. Along the way, the road is filled with several small climbs. The most difficult section will come halfway through the day, with two hills one after another. The climbs come around the villages of Alferce and São Marcos da Serra.
Wanting to test his legs Íñigo Cuesta persuaded team management to allow him to move clear of the peloton today.
Cuesta fights with several other riders to form a breakaway.
Cuesta was be successful in his goal, but only after a lot of work. HTC - Highroad, protecting Mark Cavendish's lead, would not let the break go for over 50km. Eventually, Cuesta was joined by Olivier Kaisen (Omega Pharma - Lotto), David Le Lay (AG2R La Mondiale), José Luis Roldán (Andalucía Caja Granada), Grégory Rast (Team RadioShack), Pieter Jacobs (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator), Dominique Cornu (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator), Santiago Pérez (Barbot - Efapel), and Hugo Sancho (LA - Antarte).
Christophe Le Mével (Team Garmin - Cervélo) desperately tried to make the break, but failed. It can be assumed he is one of the riders HTC did not want to let go.
The breakaway riding through Romeiras.
Behind the breakaway were two riders who were in no mans land. They were Jarlinson Pantano (Colombia es Pasión - Café de Colombia) and Vergílio Dos Santos (LA - Antarte). The two never bridged the gap.
Pantano and Dos Santos find themselves in between the break and the peloton.
At the first KOM, the breakaway was 1'19 ahead of the two riders and 2'12 ahead of the peloton.
By the climb near Alferce, their lead had ballooned to 4'08 on the peloton. Cuesta was working near the front of the group, hoping to up the pace. However, many of the riders did not have the strength. Knowing his fitness was not high enough to push on by himself, Cuesta would have to remain in the group.
Cuesta leads the descent.
By the last climb around Marmelete, the breakaway's lead was down to 1'45.
A combined effort from Movistar, HTC, and Astana saw the escapees arrested 22km from the line.
The peloton about to catch the break.
The peloton had shrunken in size, but the day had hardly been decisive. Heading into the finish, 61 riders were still in the main group. However, it was a tough day for Caja Rural, only Cuesta and José Herrada were present.
The sprint finish was very disorganized, with many lead-out man missing. Movistar was very well represented and it seemed a perfect opportunity for José Joaquín Rojas to capture a victory. Around the final turn, Rojas was in the lead, with many of his teammates blocking the competition.
Cavendish, who had a great ride, was unable to pass Rojas' teammates and finished in 13th.
Rojas seems primed for victory.
Rojas, perhaps tired, did not have the gas to make it to the line. The day belonged to an in form Roman Kreuziger (Pro Team Astana). He moved on the inside of Rojas, and had enough stamina and speed to take the win. His win sees him assume the overall race lead.
Due to his participation in the break and collecting bonus seconds, Cuesta moved into 6th overall.
Kreuziger wins, surprisingly in a sprint.

Volta ao Algarve: Stage 3: Castro Marim - Malhão: 166.4km
Today's stage sees numerous short hills along the route. Nothing decisive however. The finish in Malhão is a steep 2km climb. It is likely the favorites will wait until here to make their move.
Christophe Le Mével (Team Garmin - Cervélo) tried very hard to get into yesterday's breakaway. Yesterday, the peloton would not let the Frenchman go. Today, now being 2'35 off the pace, Le Mével was allowed to go in the break. He was joned by Anthony Ravard (AG2R La Mondiale), Manuel Ortega (Andalucía Caja Granada), Staf Scheirlinckx (Veranda's Willems - Accent), Vergílio Dos Santos (LA - Antarte), Jan Bakelandts (Omega Pharma - Lotto), Daniel Silva (Onda), and Dalivier Ospina (Colombia es Pasión - Café de Colombia).
The escapees.
The first half of the day was calm in the peloton, where the riders were content to let the break's lead grow. At the second sprint point, 96km into the day, their lead was 6'02.
At this point, almost all of the Astana team, minus race leader Roman Kreuziger, moved to the front and upped the pace.
Astana riders working hard at the front.
At the first KOM point, the lead had come down to 4'36.
The second KOM climb saw a lot of action. Despite being 46km from the line, Ryder Hesjedal (Team Garmin - Cervélo) got the action started by accelerating away from the main field.
Hesjedal kicked off the fireworks on the climb to Vermelhos.
Following him was Vasil Kiryienka (Movistar Team).
Kiryienka responds to Hesjedal's move.
The third rider to react was Tony Martin (HTC - Highroad) who was again showing his growing strength in the hills.
Martin is progressing into a very good rider.
All the while, Astana sat on the front, trying to keep the pace high. However, with their efforts clearly failing to deter attacks, Kreuziger went.
Kreuziger needs to chase down the attackers with his team spent.
Jonathan Castroviejo (Euskaltel - Euskadi) tried to go with Kreuziger, but was easily dropped.
The four rider who left the peloton came together, and found themselves with a decent gap on the main field. Given the strength and quality of the rider in this group, there was a real chance they could hold on.
An elite group formed on the hills outside Vermelhos.
However, with Kreuziger's ability to close them down, the other riders seemed to lose interest quickly. They lowered their efforts and rejoined the peloton before the top of the climb.
The peloton was not completely back together at this point. Up ahead was the breakaway, which had split up. The leading riders were Le Mével and Ortega.
The peloton easily wrapped up the other break riders, who were exhausted from their efforts. However, with 5km left, Le Mével and Ortega were still 30" ahead of the peloton, and attacking.
Le Mével and Ortega push to stay ahead of the field.
Behind them, a group of 39 riders was working hard to chase them down. Alexandre Vinokourov moved to the front and put in a good turn. His efforts were enough to reel in Le Mével and Ortega.
All together, the riders prepared for the final climb. Only José Herrada was present for Caja Rural, with Íñigo Cuesta suffering, and in the group behind.
Herrada knew he could not get up the final climb faster than the favorites, so with 3.5km left, he launched a preemptive attack, hoping to catch the peloton off guard.
Herrada goes with the climb and finish in sight.
Herrada maintained his gap until a third of the way up the climb. At this point, he ran out of gas and was swallowed up. He finished the day in 22nd, and moved into 16th in the general classification, the highest placed Caja Rural rider.
After a lot of looking around, Kreuziger took the burden of responsibility on his shoulders, and attacked. As he went on the right, Kiryienka went on the left.
Kreuziger and Kiryienka are set to duel it out for the win.
As Kiryienka immediately went into the red, the young Czech looked cool and calm. Pulling out an advantage, Kreuziger cast a look at his fellow rider before moving on without him.
Kreuziger stares down Kiryienka on the final climb.
Kreuziger made it clear today, he was in a class by himself in this year's Volta ao Algarve. He had ample time to celebrate down the straightaway.
He easily took the victory, helping him build on his overall race lead.
His showboating did cost him and time differences, as Kiryienka fought hard in the final meters, despite knowing it was a futile effort.
Kreuziger raises his arms in celebration.

Two nights in a row!
Not really the best stage for your team, but it is a very strong startlist so it will take a few seasons to be up to this level.

@ valverde321: This race was really not a focus for the team so there hasn't been too much action from my team. Sorry if its been a bit boring.
I have set my transfer targets for next season. If only I could get the budget for Contador and Anton...
Volta ao Algarve: Stage 4: VR St. Antonio - Tavira: 166.7km
The penultimate stage of the Volta ao Algarve will see the peloton again move through some rugged Portuguese terrain. However, the day should be easier than the past two, which saw little separation from the riders. Expecting anything different today would be foolish.
A small breakaway formed very early on in the day. It seemed many of the riders were tired and did not have the desire to fight. Oleg Chuzdha made the move for Caja Rural; he was accompanied by Jarlinson Pantano (Colombia es Pasión - Café de Colombia), Adrián Palomares (Andalucía Caja Granada), and Ricardo García (Orbea Continental).
Before the first mountain sprint, three riders successfully bridged the gap to the break. Amongst them was the ever attacking Christophe Le Mével (Team Garmin - Cervélo). With him was the instigator of the move, Dominique Cornu (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator) and Santiago Pérez (Barbot - Efapel).
At the first KOM point, the break was 5'46 ahead of the peloton.
The break is building a healthy lead.
Halfway through the day, the lead had grown to 7'20. However, with the final serious climb occurring 70km from the line, the peloton efforts to reel in the break were fairly relaxed.
The breakaway did not put up much of a fight in the second half of the race, being caught with 24km left.
20km out there were a few half-hearted attacks, but everything was covered well by Astana.
As the sprint opened up, Caja Rural were once again left without an option. Joaquín Sobrino and Egoitz García were both in autobus, unable to handle the earlier hills.
Many of the sprinters were not in good position, clearly hurting. Up near the front of the group was José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar Team) and Koldo Fernández (Euskaltel - Euskadi).
Under the flamme rouge, both Rojas and Fernández were several bike lengths behind Cândido Barbosa (Tavira - Prio).
Barbosa goes for the win.
The veteran Portuguese rider has a long history of success in the Volta ao Algarve, winning the overall general classification twice, in 1997 (winning every stage) and 2002. He has won 16 stages in his career.
Barbosa clearly calculated his effort perfectly, holding on for the win, a great result for him and his team.
Barbosa takes his 17th stage at the Volta ao Algarve.

Volta ao Algarve: Stage 5: Lagoa - Portimão: 16.3km (ITT)
A relatively short time trial will decide the Volta ao Algarve. Roman Kreuziger (Pro Team Astana) enters the day with a 27" advantage over Ryder Hesjedal (Team Garmin - Cervélo).
For Caja Rural, José Herrada is in 20th, tied with 31 other riders on the same time. How he performs today will determine where he finishes.
The first hours of the day were filled with the riders low in the general classification.
Oleg Chuzhda came out of the blocks at a blistering pace. One of the better time trialist on the team, Caja Rural had hopes for a good result. He got to the time check in 8'35, the fastest time at that moment. However, the Ukrainian faded in the second half, finishing in a disappointing 87th.
Chuzhda couldn't maintain his pace in the second part of the day.
The first rider to lay down a notable time was Dominique Cornu (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator). Despite taking part in yesterday's breakaway, Cornu had enough left to finish the course in 22'22.
Cornu was impressive today.
Shortly after Cornu, the real contenders started.
Former World Champion Bert Grabsch (HTC - Highroad) lowered the mark to beat by 2 seconds.
Grabsch still has some strength in his legs.
Anonymous most of the race, Andreas Klöden (Team RadioShack) had a good enough ride to finish the course in 22'11. Klöden's mark did not stand long.
Klöden is clearly still building to his fitness.
Italian time trial champion Marco Pinotti (HTC - Highroad) was not the rider to beat Klöden. Racing in his country's colors, Pinotti was 8" slower than the German.
Pinotti is likely gearing for the Giro d'Italia in May.
Herrada hit the course in the midst of the riders on the same time as him. Not a good time trialist, he was always going to lose ground.
Herrada fought hard, but finished that day in 49th. Not a terrible ride by any means. However, the result meant he slipped to 32 in the final general classification. An improvement on his Tour de San Luis, but nothing the sponsors will be cheering about.
Herrada fought hard, but could not hold onto his position.
With no rider breaking 22 minutes, David Millar (Team Garmin - Cervélo) took to the road. The runner-up from the 2010 World Championships, Millar shattered the best time of the day, finishing in 21'41.
Millar's time would be very difficult to beat.
Directly after Millar was Tony Martin (HTC - Columbia). The young German is one of the best in this specialty and showed it today. He cruised through the course with a time of 21'20, 21 seconds faster than Millar.
Martin entered the day 55" behind race leader Kreuziger. The Czech should be able to hold onto his lead, but he now couldn't relax.
Martin crosses the line after a great ride.
The rider closest to Kreuziger when the day began was the Canadian Hesjedal. He was clearly suffering on the day, but rode through the pain, hoping to put in a good enough time to beat Kreuziger. As well, he now how had to worry about Martin.
Hesjedal finished in 21'51. Now 3 seconds behind Martin.
Hesjedal did not have enough today, slipping behind Martin.
Kreuziger would have to beat a time of 22'15 to capture the Volta ao Algarve. Such a time should be easy to beat for him.
Kreuziger cruised through the course, looking cool and collected in the yellow jersey. As he got to the time check, he was only 2 seconds behind Martin. A stage victory was a real possibility.
It was clear to all watching, that once this light clicked in Kreuziger's head, he found another gear, and pushed himself hard straight to the line. As he crossed, the clock read 21'17! The best time of the day.
Kreuziger is in fine form.
Kreuziger captured his third stage and the overall title.
Kreuziger celebrates a triumphant Volta ao Algarve.

Volta ao Algarve: Stage 5: Lagoa - Portimão: 16.3km (ITT)
A relatively short time trial will decide the Volta ao Algarve. Roman Kreuziger (Pro Team Astana) enters the day with a 27" advantage over Ryder Hesjedal (Team Garmin - Cervélo).
For Caja Rural, José Herrada is in 20th, tied with 31 other riders on the same time. How he performs today will determine where he finishes.
The first hours of the day were filled with the riders low in the general classification.
Oleg Chuzhda came out of the blocks at a blistering pace. One of the better time trialist on the team, Caja Rural had hopes for a good result. He got to the time check in 8'35, the fastest time at that moment. However, the Ukrainian faded in the second half, finishing in a disappointing 87th.
Chuzhda couldn't maintain his pace in the second part of the day.
The first rider to lay down a notable time was Dominique Cornu (Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator). Despite taking part in yesterday's breakaway, Cornu had enough left to finish the course in 22'22.
Cornu was impressive today.
Shortly after Cornu, the real contenders started.
Former World Champion Bert Grabsch (HTC - Highroad) lowered the mark to beat by 2 seconds.
Grabsch still has some strength in his legs.
Anonymous most of the race, Andreas Klöden (Team RadioShack) had a good enough ride to finish the course in 22'11. Klöden's mark did not stand long.
Klöden is clearly still building to his fitness.
Italian time trial champion Marco Pinotti (HTC - Highroad) was not the rider to beat Klöden. Racing in his country's colors, Pinotti was 8" slower than the German.
Pinotti is likely gearing for the Giro d'Italia in May.
Herrada hit the course in the midst of the riders on the same time as him. Not a good time trialist, he was always going to lose ground.
Herrada fought hard, but finished that day in 49th. Not a terrible ride by any means. However, the result meant he slipped to 32 in the final general classification. An improvement on his Tour de San Luis, but nothing the sponsors will be cheering about.
Herrada fought hard, but could not hold onto his position.
With no rider breaking 22 minutes, David Millar (Team Garmin - Cervélo) took to the road. The runner-up from the 2010 World Championships, Millar shattered the best time of the day, finishing in 21'41.
Millar's time would be very difficult to beat.
Directly after Millar was Tony Martin (HTC - Columbia). The young German is one of the best in this specialty and showed it today. He cruised through the course with a time of 21'20, 21 seconds faster than Millar.
Martin entered the day 55" behind race leader Kreuziger. The Czech should be able to hold onto his lead, but he now couldn't relax.
Martin crosses the line after a great ride.
The rider closest to Kreuziger when the day began was the Canadian Hesjedal. He was clearly suffering on the day, but rode through the pain, hoping to put in a good enough time to beat Kreuziger. As well, he now how had to worry about Martin.
Hesjedal finished in 21'51. Now 3 seconds behind Martin.
Hesjedal did not have enough today, slipping behind Martin.
Kreuziger would have to beat a time of 22'15 to capture the Volta ao Algarve. Such a time should be easy to beat for him.
Kreuziger cruised through the course, looking cool and collected in the yellow jersey. As he got to the time check, he was only 2 seconds behind Martin. A stage victory was a real possibility.
It was clear to all watching, that once this light clicked in Kreuziger's head, he found another gear, and pushed himself hard straight to the line. As he crossed, the clock read 21'17! The best time of the day.
Kreuziger is in fine form.
Kreuziger captured his third stage and the overall title.
Kreuziger celebrates a triumphant Volta ao Algarve.

Strong performance by Kreuziger, beating Martin in ITT and nice overall win.. looking forward to next races, with hopefully more Caja Rujal-action
