The fact that Eulálio achieved a top 10 in a preparation race for the World Championships is a strong indication of his abilities. The young Portuguese rider has been establishing himself as one of the most consistent riders on his team at this stage of the season.

The result reinforces expectations for Eulálio in the final race of the season. The Figueira da Foz rider arrives at the Worlds with renewed confidence after this 9th place in Montréal.

Why this matters

Afonso Eulálio's result at the GP de Montréal is significant for Portuguese cycling fans, as the Bahrain Victorious rider showed good form just weeks before the World Championships, a competition for which he has already demonstrated ability on the Canadian circuit where it will take place.
