Volata serratissima sul traguardo di Lagos, dove si è conclusa la prima tappa della Volta ao Algarve e successo per il campione olandese Fabio Jakobsen che ci è ripetuto a distanza di un anno. È stato Viviani, che aveva battezzato la ruota dell'olandese, a lanciare la volata lunga ma il portacolori della Deceuninck Quick Step non ha concesso spazio e ha saltato nettamente il veronese, con Matteo Trentin che ha chiuso in terza posizione.

La frazione è stata animata dalla lunga fuga firmata da In fuga Diego Lopez (Orbea), Anton Trueba della Atum e Pedro Paulinho della Efapel, ma il loor sogno si è spento a 30 km dalla conclusone, quando le squadre dei velocisti hanno preso in mano le redini della corsa anche in vista di un finale piuttosto complicato.

Buono l'esordio di Vincenzo Nibali che si è fatto trovare pronto sull'ultimo strappo di giornata, rispondendo all'attacco di Kwiatkowski e mostrando un bel colpo di pedale. Per restare agli italiani, nella top ten di giornata anche Davide Cimolai, che ha chiuso al decimo posto.
