While the time trial course at the Olympics seemed to have been tailor-made for Adam Peaty, thanks to the heavy rainfall that turned Paris’ streets into a sodden crash-fest, over in Portugal things are on the somewhat hotter side. Maurício Moreira abandona a Volta a Portugal. However, with the race disappearing up the road, the 29-year-old soon succumbed to the inevitable. “Mauri was flown to the Guarda Hospital for tests, but he is doing well and with us,” the team said. “A difficult moment for our squad, but we will try to reverse it.”Brutal sport, indeed.
