History maker! António Morgado the youngest rider in more than half a century to finish in Top10 of a monument
CyclingMonday, 01 April 2024 at 13:05
In a solidly impressive display for UAE Team Emirates, the team claimed three spots in the top-5 at the 2024 Tour of Flanders. One of the these was Antonio Morgado, 5th behind eventual winner, Mathieu van der Poel/
Making the Portuguese wonderkid's ride all the more impressive, aged just 20yrs and 63d, Morgado is actually the third youngest rider since World War 2 to finish in the top-10 at one of cycling's monuments and the youngest since Joseph Wouters all the way back in 1962.
This latest result continues the impressive opening to the 2024 season for Morgado which also includes notable rides at the likes of Le Samyn (2nd in a photo finish ed.) and the Volta ao Algarve (best young rider ed.) among others.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
