Eritrean Henok Mulubrhan is the winner of African Cyclist Trophy 2023, award given to the best cyclist of the past season. Mulubrhan was chosen over the winner of last three editions, his compatriot Biniam Girmay, and Morocco's Achraf Ed Doghmy.
Mulubrhan made a name for himself winning the Tour of Rwanda as well as two stages, the Tour of Qinghai Lake. He also took the title at the African Continental Championships. These performances see Mulubrhan take the step up to the World Tour with Astana Qazaqstan in 2024.
"I am really happy for the win. I have dreamt to become the 'best African cyclist' after having come close to winning in the past. This year I had the best season of my career so far and I'm excited to make the next step with Astana next year," Mulubrhan expressed.
He recieved the most votes from the jury, chaired by five-time Tour de France champion Bernard Hinault, and consisting of twenty renowned riders, coaches, journalists, managers and organisers, involved with the racing on the African continent.
