UAE Staff Emirates-XRG loved a one-two end on stage 2 of the Volta ao Algarve as Jan Christen received a high-octane summit end, simply forward of teammate João Almeida.
Christen had been a part of an preliminary group of six to go clear on the Alto da Fóia, however as Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) attacked from the chasing group within the closing 2km it seemed as if the GC favourites would win the day.
