The first of the day’s 165 riders will sett off in just under 20 minutes. You can find the full list of start times here.

Volta ao Algarve stage 3 time trial start times – Can Juan Ayuso defend his overall lead, or will he be challenged?

Despite their superiority yesterday, the GC is by no means a two horse race. João Almeida lurks menacingly in third overall at just seven seconds, and, as such an accomplished time trialist, will fancy his chances of gaining that today.

Yesterday’s stage shaped the GC hierarchy, with the top climbers coming to the fore on what proved to be a very selective final climb. Paul Seixas took the stage win, but there’s nothing to separate him from Juan Ayuso at the top of the GC, both riders being on the same time. Therefore today, every second will count.

Today we’re in Vilamoura for the race’s individual time trial, which could be the defining stage in the GC race.
