Michael Mørkøv Christensen[1] (Script error: No such module "IPA".; born 30 April 1985) is a Danish former racing cyclist, who competed as a professional from 2005 to 2024. He is the brother of racing cyclists Jacob and Jesper Mørkøv.[2]

Career

Born in Kokkedal, Mørkøv started as a track cyclist, becoming national champion in the points race in 2004. In the 2008 Olympic games, he won the silver medal in the team pursuit.

As a road cyclist, Mørkøv became national time trial champion in 2005. Mørkøv rode the 2010 and 2011 Giro d'Italia, finishing both. Mørkøv rode his first Tour de France in 2012, drawing attention by featuring in the most important escapes of the first three stages, where he gained enough points to lead the mountains classification. He held polka-dot jersey until stage 7, where stage winner Chris Froome took it.[3]

In 2013, he won Stage 6 in the Vuelta a España.

In August 2015, it was announced that Mørkøv would join Template:Cycling data KAT for the 2016 season, at the request of Alexander Kristoff, with a view to working for Kristoff as part of his sprint train and as a domestique in the classics.[4]

Mørkøv joined the Belgian Quick Step team in 2018 and since then has acted as a successful lead-out man for Sam Bennett and then, as a late replacement for Bennett as the team's sprinter for the 2021 Tour de France, Mark Cavendish.[5] Mørkøv has been highly praised; Cavendish said "It’s a known fact Michael is the best leadout man in the world"[5] and retired sprinter Marcel Kittel said "Many sprinters would win with him as the last man on the sprint train".[5]

In 2021, when the Madison track race was reinstated into the Olympic Games of Tokyo 2020, Mørkøv won the gold medal (partnered with Lasse Norman Hansen).
