Geraint Thomas in action during Stage 4 of the 2015 Volta ao Algarve
Team Sky had a great day at the Volta ao Algarve in Portugal on Saturday, with Richie Porte winning the tough, hilly stage four and Geraint Thomas maintaining his overall race lead.
Porte hit the finish line on the Alto do Malhão to take a solo win three seconds ahead of last year's overall winner and current world champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Etixx-QuickStep), with Ion Izagirre (Movistar) six seconds back.
