Michael Mørkøv is one of six Tinkoff-Saxo riders to represent Denmark in the Worlds road race. The Dane is proud of his selection and hopes to benefit from the fact that the team is lining up six trade teammates.
Michael Mørkøv is one of six Danish Tinkoff-Saxo riders taking part of the World Championship road race for Denmark this Sunday. Well-known and highly respected for his tactical skills, Mørkøv will be adding experience, cunningness and stamina to the Danish line-up, which consists of Christopher Juul-Jensen, Chris Anker Sørensen, Matti Breschel, Nicki Sørensen and the Danish national champion, Michael Valgren.
“First of all, I’m immensely proud of being in the World Championship line-up for Denmark and I’m really looking forward to the highly prestigious race on Sunday. It’s always a special feeling to be representing your country but it’s even more special this year since the whole Danish line-up consists of Tinkoff-Saxo teammates. We know each other quite well and I think we will be able to benefit from that fact,” Mørkøv concludes.
The World Championship road race covers 254.8 kilometers divided in to 14 laps on an 18.2 kilometer long circuit in and around Ponferrada, Spain.
