OFFICIAL | No season over for Isaac del Toro who will travel to Mexico to race national championships
Cycling
It's official. Isaac del Toro will compete this week in the National Championships of Mexico 2025, both in the road race and in the time trial. Thus, before closing his year, the third best rider in the UCI classification will try to wear a couple of jerseys that he could wear throughout the next campaign and also look to add even more victories to UAE Team Emirates - XRG's already record-breaking season.
UAE Team Emirates has confirmed the participation of Isaac del Toro in the Mexican national championships, which are being held this week in his hometown of Ensenada. "We're not done yet... and neither is Torito! We are pleased to announce that Isaac del Toro will be competing this week at the Mexican National Championships, held in Isaac's hometown of Ensenada. Held in Isaac's hometown of Ensenada, he will participate in both the individual time trial and the road race. Go Torito, good luck!"
After four years of absence, the National Road Cycling Championship returns to the calendar. In 2025 it will be held in Ensenada, Baja California, offering riders the opportunity to compete among the best in the country in an environment of breathtaking scenery. The organization is in charge of the recently created Unión Ciclista de México (UCIMEX), with the support of the UCI, in a joint effort to recover the tradition of this important national cycling event. Evidently, Del Toro's participation has been key to this comeback.

- Indeed! A reluctant gift maybe. Even more reluctant gift from Roglic! Tho I can’t see that Rog would have beaten Ving anyway.Lozza14-11-2026
- That really nasty crash in 2022 Liege must have played a big part - broken ribs, pneumothorax. You only have to look at his points tallies pre and post.Lozza14-11-2026
- Yeah, good luck getting tv and race organisers like ASO etc to part with their cash!Lozza14-11-2026
- 36 and Ineos have bought a rider on the downward slope. Bring back Dave and Rob who could manage the team. How are Ineos going to win a grand tour with people past their sell by date.paultryan200214-11-2026
- Mmmm would he be making these comments when he was on the richest team when riding. I think not i suspect. If we want money put into the sport we need sponsors who are prepared to put the money in. No disrespect but his team are 2nd or 3rd div in football terms with riders over the hill or 2nd string riders. If i was a sponsor i would be looking at what publicity am i getting back and Tudor really are just making up the numbers really.paultryan200214-11-2026
- 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
