António Morgado (born 28 January 2004) is a Portuguese road cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates. [2]
At the 2022 UCI Road World Championships held in Wollongong, Australia, Morgado won a silver medal in the men's junior road race after he was outsprinted by Emil Herzog at the line. [3]
After a highly successful two years as a junior, Morgado was recruited by UCI Continental team Hagens Berman Axeon for 2023. [1] That season, he won the International Tour of Rhodes and repeated his performance at the World Championships, winning another silver medal, this time in the under-23 road race.
The following season, he joined UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates on a four year contract. After finishing fifth in the Tour of Flanders in late March, he took his first pro win at the newly revived Giro della Romagna three weeks later. [4] [5]
