The historic record that Isaac del Toro has broken in the Giro d'Italia after 85 years

The Giro d'Italia 2025 will be decided this Saturday, with a stage 20 of maximum excitement. Only 41 seconds separate Isaac del Toro and Richard Carapaz in the fight for the general classification. With the colossal Colle delle Finestre left to be tackled, the pink jersey's owner in Rome is yet to be decided, but the truth is Isaac del Toro has already inserted himself in the history books.

Counting stage 20, it has now been 11 stages that the UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider has worn the mythical pink overall leader's jersey. Regardless of what happens in his final head-to-head against Carapaz, Isaac del Toro has already made history.

The Mexican is now is the youngest rider to ever hold the pink jersey at the Giro for 11 days. He has held it for over half the race, and can even extend this record if he survives today's mountain stage. This had been a record that had withstood for 85 years, back when Fausto Coppi held the jersey for 10 days back in 1940.
