Silves > Fóia 172km

The usual finish on Alto da Fóia. The organisers have made a habit of tinkering with the approach to Fóia, this year they go back to the same finale they used in 2022. That was during COVID times, which meant the race was in May, and the front group was much smaller than usual in the final kilometre, but the quality of participants wasn’t the highest either. We’ll have to see if the finale changes the type of finish we get.
