History maker! António Morgado the youngest rider in more than half a century to finish in Top10 of a monument

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.
