Victor Langellotti (Burgos-BH) won stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal with a solo attack in the final kilometre and held off the charging peloton. In the the uphill finish in Fafe, South American Mauricio Moreira (Glassdrive/Q8/Anicolor) secured second place ahead of North American Scott McGill (Wildlife Generation). 

With 6km to go, Robin Carpenter (Human Powered Health) and Langellotti had opened a gap at the front of the race as Glassdrive Q8 Anicolor riders and the peloton had absorbed what remained of the breakaway riders from the original group that was 11 strong. Carpenter was next to see his adventure end, leaving Langellotti to fight alone.
