Volta ao Algarve: Jordi Meeus sprints to his first win of the season

Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe sprinter Jordi Meeus has won today's third stage of the Volta ao Algarve

The 26-year-old Belgian stayed calm amid a hectic, crash-marred finale and and had the fastest legs in the bunch sprint after 183 kilometers. With this triumph, Meeus secured his first victory of the year, while Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe already notched up their sixth win in this still-young season.

Jordi Meeus: “I’m super happy with this win. I was already second in my first race of the year, and I was really focused on the first stage here in Algarve which also didn’t work out as planned. Today was another opportunity, and I felt strong all day. It was a hectic day from start to finish but the team nailed the sprint preparation despite the many corners and roundabouts—a big thanks to my teammates for doing an amazing job.”
 
The team’s best-placed rider in the overall standings remains Primož Roglic. The Slovenian sits in seventh place, 23 seconds behind Swiss leader Jan Christen.
