Emil Herzog outsprints Antonio Morgado in thriller to wins men’s junior road race at World Championships
A brilliant bit of bike racing in the final kilometres of the men’s junior race saw Emil Herzog deliver Germany’s first road rainbow jersey since 2016. Herzog had been the only rider with the legs to bring back a surging Antonio Morgado, who had gone solo at the start of the final lap. The Portuguese rider forced him to start the sprint first and just about drew level, but Herzog had just enough left to hang on and take the victory by a little less than a bike length.
