Antonio Morgado national road Champion 2nd Afonso Silva Tavira Team Rui Oliveira was 3rd 

Maria Martins (CANYON//SRAM Racing) won the most recent Portuguese Elite Women's Road Race National Championship. The national title adds another prestigious road victory to her career, supplementing her previous gold medal in the event and her accomplishments on the track

Antonio Morgado and Ana Caramelo and trial stage

Pure excitement to date the first day of the two National Cycling Championships that were contested in Guarda. António Morgado (Emirates) becomes tri-champion and beats Rafael Reis (Anicolor) by just over 1 second!

The 22-year-old equals José Azevedo's number of titles (3), now just behind Joaquim Agostinho (6) and Nelson Oliveira (4). He completed the 27.7 kilometers at Casal de Cinza in 33.15 minutes, finishing with an average speed of 48,701 km/h.

Afonso Eulalio to compete on sunday on the 181.5 kma 

This first day starts at 2pm, and, first two male elites, compete for the national titles of counter-racing in paracycling, master, under-23 and female elites and, then, the under-23 male. These run a more reduced course in Casal de Cinza - 21.6 kilometers.

On Sunday, it is Ivo Oliveira who defends the national championship jersey, but Morgado will also start as the main favorite to prove his bottom. However, there will be other names and the one that stands out most is that of Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain). The best young man of the last edition of the Volta in Italy (ranked 6th) is in good form and has a course (181.5 km) that suits his characteristics well. This test bad counts with a platoon of 45 runners.

Nivaldo on the way out 

Sport Lisbon and Benfica have announced that they have signed volleyball coach Sakis Psarras 53 yrs old for the next two seasons.

A native of Athens, the coach has 10 years of experience in Greece, where there is a great rivalry between clubs, such as the cases of Olympiacos, Panathinaikos or PAOK. Sakis Psarras began his journey as coach at OFPF Ethnikós in 2016/17, a club that placed in the top flight after becoming champion of the A2 League, continuing his career during the following season at PAOK.

Over the past 6 seasons, the coach has transformed AONS Milon into one of his country's top mole teams, including a historic first appearance in the CEV Cup. Last season (2025/26), Sakis Psarras led the team to second place in the regular phase of the main Championship of Greece – a point behind leaders Panathinaikos – and then reached the semi-finals of the play-offs. In the European CEV Cup trial, in 2024/25, the coach levou the Greek team to the quarter-finals.
