Isaac Del Toro wins opening day of Vuelta a Asturias with ease and takes over race lead

The Vuelta a Asturias began today and with no surprise whatsoever, UAE Team Emirates took control of the race. Mexican Isaac Del Toro was the main favourite for the stage win and has not disappointed.

This comes as a result of the work set by the team throughout the day, followed by work on the final climb. Gonzalo Serano and José Manuel Díaz put on a mighty and dangerous effort, but in the final ascent Del Toro attacked with 5 kilometers to go and dropped the rest of the competition.

Teammate Rafal Majka took advantage of the work done in the chasing group to sprint into his own gap and second place on the day. Eric Fagundez and Afonso Eulálio finished third and fourth on the day a few seconds after.
