Super talent Isaac del Toro set to make a Grand Tour debut at Vuelta a Espana
CyclingSaturday, 13 July 2024 at 07:00
Before the start of the season, UAE Team Emirates claimed that Isaac del Toro's debut professional season will be mainly about getting the hang of racing in the peloton at the highest level.
Yet back then the UAE bosses didn't know the 20-year-old Mexican would go on to a stage at Tour Down Under, top 5 GC at Tirreno-Adriatico, or win overall of Vuelta Asturias.
The winner of 2023 Tour de l'Avenir has been certainly making waves within the cycling world and with some riders seemingly out of shape or injured, Del Toro can ready himself for a Grand tour debut, it seems.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the young Mexican will be present at the Gran Partida in Lisbon on August 17. UAE Team Emirates will likely bet on either Adam Yates or Joao Almeida for the general classification, but there should be enough opportunities for Del Toro to chase his own success too.

- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024

- the “cloud of shame” thing has a lot to do with the cycling world’s REACTION to a doped rider, not simply whether or not they doped. merckx got caught over and over, but clearly no cloud of shame affixed by cycling culture to him. same with countless tdf champions and other legends i won’t list again at risk of belaboring the point.OCexile07-11-2024
