Isaac del Toro takes first one-day win of his career with spectacular performance at Milano - Torino 2025
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Isaac del Toro has taken the win at the 2025 edition of cycling's oldest one-day race, Milano - Torino. Outsprinting Ben Tulett and Tobias Johannessen in a three-up sprint for the line.
Five men got themselves into the day's breakaway, including notable names Jonas Rutsch and Mattia Bais. As the peloton ramped up the pace ahead of the two climbs inside the final 25km though, as the road headed upwards for the first time, the break's advantage was already cut to only around 30 seconds. Rutsch proved to be the last man standing from the break, actually managing to summit the first of the two climbs 12 seconds clear of the bunch.
Ahead of the final ascent of the Colle di Superga, Rutsch had actually extended his advantage to around 20 seconds. Once the climbing began though, the big German couldn't hold out too much longer, eventually being caught at 4.5km to go as UAE Team Emirates - XRG began to light things up. The first big attack of the pre-race favourites came with some aggressive pace-setting by Adam Yates inside the final 3km, drawing an elite group of six clear at the front.
At 1.2km to go, Isaac del Toro then powered around his teammate with a huge move. Ben Tulett and Tobias Johannessen both matched the Mexican though,with the trio passing through the 500m to go marker locked together. Rather than wait for a sprint though, Johannessen attempted his own attack but was ultimately reeled back in. When Del Toro then went again, there was no response this time as he secured a first one-day win of his World Tour career.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
