Hi everyone,

First, a big welcome to all the new subscribers who have joined in the last couple of days. Thank you for registering, and I hope you enjoy the content from the Volta ao Algarve and beyond.

I’m heading to the start of stage 2 in a couple of hours, but here’s a brief (and free) story following the confirmation this morning that Elia Viviani has joined Lotto on a one-year deal.

I still need to write several stories from stage 1, including those about John Degenkolb, Callum Thornley, Tom Steels, Matteo Tosatto, and Tiesj Benoot. The aim is to produce two more exclusive pieces by the end of today. It’s the first proper uphill finish as we head to Alto da Foia, so I’m expecting fireworks from the likes of Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard today.

Thanks

Daniel
