JOAO ALMEIDA started a long way of the cross this Saturday on the occasion of the 8th stage of Tour de France. Indeed, in the aftermath of his fall, the Portuguese and his team UAE Team Emirates XRG have decided to continue the tour, despite a broken coast and a sore hand. At the back of the peloton much of the day, Almeida still managed to finish the stage, hoping for better days.

But it's not just me, we are strong people. Hoping to have better days, even if it could be worse.”
