Saúl Morales

Saúl Morales

Saúl Morales (1973-2000) was a Spanish cyclist.

He became professional in 1999, at the Fuenlabrada team. That year his fellow team member Manuel Sanromà died during the Volta a Catalunya. Three years earlier, José Antonio Espinosa another Fuenlabrada member, died after a traffic accident during a training. Morales suffered the same fate as his teammates. In 2000, during the Tour of Argentina, he was hit by a truck that accidentally came between the riders. Out of protest, several European teams withdrew from the race. Morales' death was not the first incident: bad roads, bad medical treatment, officials favouring Argentinian riders. Since 2000 the Tour of Argentine is not held any more.

Morales' only victory was a stage in the Tour of Venezuela in 1999.
