- All considered, he still did ok.Mistermaumau20-05-2025
- As if any of them would beat him ;-), they wouldn’t even try.Mistermaumau20-05-2025
- Voice of reason. Del Toro did nothing wrong and UAE is sitting very pretty.mobk20-05-2025
- I'm honestly surprised to see Del Toro do so well. Him working to help Ayuso win a stage, still finishing right after him, then ripping up the race two days afterwards.Ride197420-05-2025
- Unless the difference in the TT is very different, they should protect both until after the next big summit finish. Then make a decision.Ride197420-05-2025
- Unless the results in the TT are very different, they need to protect both until at least one more hard summit finish. Then decide.Ride197420-05-2025
- The king of crashing is back! Worse still, he got only one teammate to assist him. What went wrong with Bora?
KerisVroom20-05-2025 - Media pundits trying to make a bigger story out of it than it is. Great ride by Del Toro but let's not get carried away. He didn't ride away from Ayuso. Ayuso crashed and in the heat of the dust and the chaos he found himself up ahead so he made the most of the situation. Don't buy the argument he shouldn't have pushed for pink if he wanted to win the stage. He could have backed off and not ridden with WvA but then he might have ended up without pink, without any guarantee WvA wouldn't have out sprinted him for the stage. He rode well and very strongly through a very chaotic stage and came away with a pink jersey to show for it. As for the overall GC that's a whole other story and as others have said may already look very different after tomorrow's TT. For me, still feel Del Toro has a lot to prove in terms of consistency in the mountains to be a real GC contender over the three weeks ....TBC
z2319-05-2025 - Truth be told, if Carapaz doesn't lose four minutes tomorrow he will be the guy that UAE needs to worry about. He's looking better and better.awp19-05-2025
