he last time we spoke to Denmark and Saxo Bank’s Michael Mørkøv – after he’d won a dramatic Vuelta stage – we said that perhaps it was time to stop referring to him as a ‘Six Day star.’
We were right.
It's time to stop calling him a "Six Day Star".

The last time we spoke to Danish Six Day star Michael Mørkøv was back in June
after he’d pulled off a brilliant but unexpected win in the Danish Elite Road
Race Championships for his Saxo-Tinkoff team.
And he’s done it again – this time taking a beautiful stage win in the Vuelta,
outsprinting the entire peloton to win Stage Six on the day when Tony Martin
(QuickStep & Germany) came close to pulling off what would have been one of the
all time great Grand Tour stage wins.
Perhaps it’s time to stop calling Michael a ‘Six Day star’ . . .

It was after the Giro when we last spoke to Saxo Bank’s Michael Morkov; just after he helped team mate Alberto Contador to a crushing victory. Since then he’s stood on the podium of his home tour and come very close to a stage win in Colorado. We spoke to the 26 year-old from Kokkedal on the eve of his flying to Canada for the UCi races in Quebec and Montreal – where he would actually win the one kilometre road sprints competition held on the eve of the Quebec race.

It might have looked as if Alberto Contador won the 2011 edition without too many problems. But what was it really like to be part of the team which carried the responsibility of protecting the man from Pinto to the foot of the Zoncolan and across the Strade Bianche?

Dozens of SMS and emails flash up on my BlackBerry each day, most are chaff and get deleted after a quick glance – but when one comes in to tell me that ‘Michael Morkov excluded from the Vuelta by WADA’ that makes me take notice. There’s only one thing to do – call the man himself.

Four or five seasons ago, I was Michael Morkov's 'runner' at the Grenoble six. The young Dane and his partner, Alex Rasmussen were, 'up and coming' back then; but Rolf Sorensen told me that Michael was going all the way to the top...and he was right!
