15. Rúben Guerreiro – chosen by Vasco Serrano

Being a very positive Tour for both Portuguese riders, it makes sense to open this list with a national cyclist. And even though Rui Costa has contributed with work and above all, experience to a relatively young UAE Team Emirates, who found themselves with the yellow jersey at stage 8, Rúben Guerreiro stood out more. After leaving the Giro when showing top 10 legs, he was eventually called to the Tour to serve Rigoberto Uran. In addition to this role, the Portuguese was given the freedom to join breakaways and achieve good results, such as the 5th place obtained in Andorra. Consistency over the three weeks earned him a place in the final top 20, joining the exclusive club of Portuguese who achieved this feat. Whether he continues to hunt for stages or has GC opportunities, it will always be a joy to watch Rúben Guerreiro racing.
