65th Volta a Portugal - 2.2
Portugal, August 6-17, 2003
Stage 1 - August 6: Albufeira-Tavira, 175.6 km
Candido Barbosa wins first stage
Portuguese rider Candido Barbosa (LA Pecol) won the first stage of his national tour, between Albufeira and Tavira. The stage finished in a bunch sprint, with Barbosa beating Alberto Benito (Antarte-Rota Moveis) and Angel Edo (Milaneza-Mss). Almost all the 130 riders in the race finished in the leading bunch.
The first stage saw five of the eight riders of the Kelme team abandon, blaming gastrointestinal problems. "Yesterday five of our riders went training and shortly after coming back they began to feel bad," said directeur sportif José Luis Laguia. "We thought it would pass but they had big problems during the night, with vomiting and diarrhoea. They still started, but they weren't in good physical shape and ended up abandoning."
"Honestly we don't know what happened, and we don't think it was a problem in the hotel, because there were more teams staying there who didn't have any problems. We don't know if it was dehydration during training yesterday or some bad water that they drank. Now the riders will return to Spain and there we will look for an explanation as to what has happened. We only know it was related to gastrointestinal problems."
