Vuelta Asturias Julio Alvarez Mendo 2024 🇪🇸 – Stage 2 – Ribera de Arriba – Ribadesella : 199 km
The 2024 Vuelta Asturias Julio Alvarez Mendo is a road cycling stage race taking place between 26 and 28 April 2024 in the Asturias region of northwestern Spain. It is the 66th edition of the Vuelta Asturias and was part of the 2024 UCI Europe Tour calendar as a category 2.1 event.
Antonio Morgado (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 2 of the Vuelta Asturias on a cold, rainy stage to Ribadesella.
The Portuguese neo-pro out-sprinted Movistar’s Albert Torres for the stage win while teammate Isaac Del Toro, who won the opening stage, kept the race lead with third place in the sprint.
Five riders tried to foil the sprinters on the hilly 199km stage but could not withstand the relentless chase of UAE Team Emirates. A late attack by Samuel Fernandez (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) also didn’t work, leading to the bunch sprint.
“The race was long and the day cold and with a lot of rain,” Morgado said. “The team trusted me and all my mates did a great performance in trying to give me the opportunity to win, so I tried to sprint exploiting a super good lead-out. I’m very happy.”
