Amaro Antunes or Gustavo Veloso? That’s the big question for the final time trial and Adriano Quintanilha says he has “no preferences among our seven riders”
W52-FC Porto can win the Volta a Portugal with Amaro Antunes or Gustavo Veloso, as the former wears the yellow jersey and the latter is the favorite for the 17.7 km time trial to be held tomorrow in Lisbon, but within the team no preferences.
“Among the seven, I have no preference. I want W52-FC Porto to win the Tour de Portugal. I do not make decisions, especially because in order to have a united team, the boss cannot differentiate his riders,” said Adriano Quintanilha, sponsor team principal, exclusively to O GOGO.
Between the two corridors, opinions are against the boss’s words.
“I have Gustavo behind me, who can also have a voice. It is important that victory stays with the team,” said Amaro Antunes, current leader, upon arrival in Setúbal.
“I know that I am one of the favorites, but there are many who are not for the general classification and can ride more in the ‘chrono’. I will have to do the time trial of my life to pass Amaro, so I think it will not work,” he replied Gustavo. Veloso, who is third overall, 1m13s behind the teammate.
Already Nuno Ribeiro, sports director, without making decisions, recalls that “it will be a decision between the athletes, an individual fight, and we will try to win the Volta a Portugal against the clock.” “It’s easy for us to manage, we want to win the Tour, with any of them,” he added.
