The German professional cyclist Tony Martin has clearly missed the desired victory in the individual time trial of the Algarve Tour in Portugal. The four-time time trial world champion finished only sixth in the overall victory of the British top rider Geraint Thomas with a gap of 27 seconds.

The Belgian Victor Campenaerts finished in second place on the third leg after 20.3 km through Lagoa, eleven seconds behind. Stefan Küng from Switzerland finished third (+0:19 seconds). At the top of the overall ranking Thomas has a 22-second advantage over his Polish team mate Michal Kwiatkowski.

Maximilian Schachmann continues to be the best German overall. In the fight against the clock, the Berliner finished 18th (1:13 minutes back) and improved to eighth place (1:19).
