The tirade was won by Uruguayan Mauricio Moreira (Efapel) who made the time of 3 hours, 47 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching the top of Senhora da Graça alone.
At eight seconds, Amaro Antunes (W52/FC Porto) arrived, followed by teammate Joni Brandão, who crossed the line 14 seconds behind Mauricio.
Overall, Amaro Antunes is in the lead, Mauricio Moreira in second, with 42 seconds, and Frederico Figueiredo (Efapel) in third, with 55 seconds.
