A very long head to head between the 2 phenomena of the Junior category at the World Road Championships that are taking place in Wollongong in Australia, namely the German Emil Herzog and the Portuguese Antonio Morgado: a very long sprint where the 2 athletes remained practically paired up to 'I arrive.

Emil Herzog had won the test of the Internazionali d'Italia in La Thuile last June: yet another example of the goodness of multidisciplinarity.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
