The 2015 Volta a Portugal was a men's road bicycle race held from 29 July to 9 August 2015. [1] It is the 77th edition of the men's stage race to be held, which was established in 1927. As part of the 2015 UCI Europe Tour, it is rated as a 2.1 event. [2] Just before the start, the race was marked by controversy due to UCI an regulation amendment restricting the teams to 8 riders (with exception of the 3 big races-Giro, Tour and Vuelta), issue just one month before the Volta. The race director, Joaquim Gomes achieved an exception and the teams raced with 9 riders each. [3] Gustavo Veloso repeated the 2014 success.
In total, 16 teams are set to compete.
