UAE Team Emirates wonderkids Isaac del Toro and António Morgado will take on Vuelta a Asturias
CyclingFriday, 26 April 2024 at 05:30
All eyes are already on Giro d'Italia Grande Partenza next Saturday, yet the world didn't stop spinning and so the traditional Vuelta a Asturias is back with it's already 67th edition this Friday with three days of full gas racing at the north of Iberian Peninsula.
Unsurprisingly, UAE Team Emirates - a team with strong bounds to Spain, doesn't intend to take the 2.1 lightly and thus nominates Isaac del Toro and António Morgado.
The pair already bossed the Giro della Romagna field where the Mexican supertalent launched Morgado towards the front group where the Portuguese didn't have any problems to secure the final sprint.
Back to the Spanish stage race, both youngsters can have a goal to chase after. While Del Toro should be able to bring home the opening stage with downhill finish to Pola de Lena, stages 2 and 3 don't seem to have potential to be decisive for the GC. Then either a reduced sprint or late attack could bring success and this is where fast Morgado comes into the play. It seems to be only a matter of shaking down Movistar's Fernando Gaviria...

- So he's got an attitude of egocentric proportions, typical Yorkshire guy then...
leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
