Sunday’s time trial winner Rafael Reyes and Uruguayan teammate Ivabel gave a positive assessment of his participation in the Volta and Portugal 2021.

Win in demo time: “It would have been better if we had won the general with Mauricio [Moreira]This was our main goal. Personally, things have gone well for me.”

collective sense: “The last few days I wasn’t thinking about myself, I was thinking about the team and Mauricio, who I think was in the best shape to win the Volta. Everything is well programmed. Today’s Times [domingo] They were for him to direct himself and we knew that if he could take my time or beat them, he would win the Volta.”

“It’s tough, because time trial, lose lap by second, win by second. And even with the fall, you ended up losing 10 seconds anyway, which is nothing. Plus the penalties in the Mt stage [da Estrela]… He was clearly the most powerful man in Volta and would surely have a bright future. Both in Portugal and abroad. For me, it has to be on the outside. He has always shown great quality and he has shown it here as well.”
