27th Volta ao Algarve - 2.4Portugal, February 11-15, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - February 13: Faro - Fóia, 170.5 kmAzevedo takes command in stage 3For the second year in a row, Portuguese rider José Azevedo (ONCE) has triumphed in the Fóia stage of the Volta ao Algarve. Azevedo overcame Andrea Ferrigato (Alessio) after the two established a small gap to the peloton inside the final kilometre. Yesterday's race leader, Endrio Leoni lost 19 minutes today and handed the yellow jersey to Azevedo. Rabobank's Michael Boogerd finished third in today's stage, that contained a tough climb in the closing kilometres in Fóia. He benefited from some good teamwork with Rabobank being responsible for much of the pace making during the day. Kelme's Constantino Zaballa was the escape artist of the day, but he was eventually caught with just a few kilometres to go on the Monchique climb.
