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.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
