Portuguese super-talent António Morgado follows Almeida's footsteps as Hagens Berman Axeon confirm signing
CyclingTuesday, 30 August 2022 at 20:30
It was an open secret for some weeks already, but today the American under-23 structure Hagens Berman Axeon have confirmed the long-awaited news that they will be taking in 18-year old António Morgado.
Having CORSO Sports as an agent, Morgado was expected to follow the footsteps of João Almeida, Ruben Guerreiro, the Oliveira twins and several other Portuguese riders over the last few years. From the same city and team as João Almeida in his junior years, Morgado is following a very similar path, however with international recognition as one of the world's top junior riders and most promising talents.
Morgado has taken a total of 27 wins in total this year, including stage wins, GC wins, national championships. That number doesn't include points and KOM classification victories, which are both at national and international level. Morgado had been linked with the American team for several weeks, and two days after winning the Volta a Portugal Juniores, he confirms his departure from the Portuguese domestic calendar.
"Representing the Hagens Berman Axeon Cycling team will be a great honor as well as a huge responsibility. Despite this, I am excited and motivated to start this new phase of my career," Morgado said in a press release.

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
- Debatable?Ride197423-12-2024
- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
