Henok Mulubrhan (born 11 November 1999 in Asmara) is an Eritrean cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Astana Qazaqstan Team.[4]
Career
Originally from Asmara, Henok started cycling with mountain biking. He entered his first competitions in 2014.[5] In 2016, he represented his country at the UCI World Junior Championships in Doha. During the 2018 season, he placed in the top 10 on four stages of the La Tropicale Amissa Bongo. He then won the fourth stage of the Tour de l'Espoir followed by being crowned the Eritrean national under-23 road race champion.[6] He also won the silver medal in the road race at the African under-23 road championships. In July 2018, he joined the World Cycling Centre program based in Switzerland.[7] The following season, he was crowned the African under-23 road race champion.
In 2020, Henok joined UCI Continental team NTT Continental Cycling Team, which acted as the development squad for UCI WorldTeam NTT Pro Cycling. With this team, he achieved top ten overall finishes in the La Tropicale Amissa Bongo and the Tour du Rwanda. He stayed with the team in 2021, and saw some success on the Italian circuit, including a second place finish at the Giro del Medio Brenta.
He was then signed to step up to the UCI WorldTeam, Team Qhubeka Assos for the 2022 season.[8] However, the team folded at the end of 2021, leaving him without a contract. He ended up joining Bike Aid until the end of March, before being signed by UCI ProTeam Bardiani–CSF–Faizanè in April.[9] This season, he notably won the elite road race at the African road championships.[10] He ended the season at the Giro di Lombardia, which was both the first UCI WorldTour race and Monument that he had competed in.
For the 2023 season, Henok continued to ride for Green Project–Bardiani–CSF–Faizanè. He started the season at the La Tropicale Amissa Bongo in January, earning two top three stage finishes. The following month, he defended his title of African champion and won a silver medal in the time trial followed by two stage wins and the overall victory at the Tour du Rwanda.[10] In May, he competed in his first Grand Tour: the Giro d'Italia, where he was given the combativity award on stage 7 after being a part of the breakway for most of the stage. He ultimately finished the race 87th overall. The next month, he placed third in the Giro dell'Appennino one-day race. In July, he won a stage and the overall classification at the Tour of Qinghai Lake, an eight-day stage race on the UCI ProSeries calendar.[11] He was selected to compete in the road race at the 2023 UCI Road World Championships, but did not finish the race.[12]
In August 2023, it was announced he would join UCI WorldTeam Astana Qazaqstan Team in 2024 on a two-year contract.[10]
