Mexico's Isaac del Toro was a very impressive winner on stage 6 of the Tour de l'Avenir, taking victory atop the Col de la Loze.
Following his narrow victory ahead of U.S.A's Matthew Riccitello, del Toro was completely overcome by emotion. Utterly exhausted both mentally and physically, and embraced by his friends, the Mexican broke down in emotion.
Check it out in the video below!

- Pogi is an outlier. You cannot prove an outlier using the statistical data of average pros. If he releases the data, it will only cause even more suspicion. In 2020 TDF he was dropped by Roglic in the mountains. So how does he do the TT where in the flats he nearly beat Tom Dumoulin and beat everybody else on the climb by a ton. No matter what Pogi is too much of an outlier which can be proven by dataabstractengineer10-04-2025
- Sorry? Have you not noticed how many winners and others have been cancelled post event, not least from the Beijing and London Olympics? If that doesn’t qualify for practice generalisation in sporting procedure, what is, we’ve even gotten to the stage of pre-emptive barring under suspicion of possible doping. If you’re going to look at a problem like this seriously, don’t just look at what makes media headlines in the parts you pay attention to. There is probably a wiki list (very long) of athletes who were disqualified for substance irregularities post event, and each had the opportunity to their long and costly process to defend themselves, it just doesn’t make the news unless you’re already a megastar (in which case you’d be extremely stupid nowadays to risk it, but then again, many people, especially in sport, fall in or close to such a category.Mistermaumau10-04-2025
- Not comparing GT results but you should not forget guys like Kuiper, Kelly, Moser, who did pretty well in both.Mistermaumau10-04-2025
- The 10 year thing is already implemented since years in sport, why should cycling (probably worst offender) be exempted? “ Today, under the World Anti-Doping Code, samples can be stored for up to 10 years after their initial analysis and still retain the same legal impact if analyzed further and prosecuted. WADA President Witold Bańka said: “WADA is fully supportive of this initiative and commends the IOC and ITA for their work in this area. The long-term storage of samples for further analysis has proven to be an important tool in the protection of clean sport. As detection methods are constantly being improved and updated, retaining samples for 10 years means that those who have cheated cannot rest easy for a full decade after they have been tested. “It is a requirement under the 2021 International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI) that Signatories must have a written strategy for storage and further analysis as part of their testing programs and I am confident this policy will have a further impact in the years to come. Furthermore, this storage and further analysis program goes towards meeting Anti-Doping Organization’s compliance requirements under the ISTI and provides a cost saving at the same time, as the cost for the transfer and storage of samples is covered by the IOC.” The further analysis of samples collected during Beijing 2008 and London 2012 has so far produced more than 130 Anti-Doping Rule Violations, which clearly highlights the effectiveness of such a program to provide more effective detection while also acting as a deterrence.”Mistermaumau10-04-2025
- Releasing data doesnt solve the issue of credibilty. Because what ended to be is people making intepretation of the data which leads to innuendo. If he really want to improve his team why don't he just ask UAE of Visma to show them what do they do to their team? I feel sorry for anyone who was born after the doping era carrying the sins of the past. Their hard work and achievement always viewed as suspicious. I'm glad I'm not a pro cyclist so I don't need to keep proofing my innocent everytime I'm doing something remarkable.jelantik10-04-2025
- In every sport, records are broken and more-performing athletes emerge every year. And no one questions them. It's sad that certain people INSIDE the cycling are the first to create and increase suspicions about the sport they claim to love . And they do it without any prove, driven by frustration and envy, because they're always the losers to throw shit at their sport. It's never Vingegaard or Van der Poel; it's always the losers who act this way. Shameful. (sorry for my bad english)
maria2024202410-04-2025 - It's kinda crazy that people who make a living in professional sport don't understand how competition works. You have the sport. You have pharmaceuticals which may improve performance. You test for as many as you can. If you pass the tests, you keep your result. It's only in cycling that a substantial minority think that all results should be provisional for 15 years. In nearly every other sport, people watch and enjoy what they see, or if they don't like what goes into producing what they see, they don't watch.
Barney10-04-2025 - It is pretty cool that a Grand Tour rider is even riding Paris-Roubaix, much less in the discussion for a podium. This is a throwback across many generations of cyclists to the pillars of Hinault and Merckx. Enjoy it while it lasts.Barney10-04-2025
- Sounds like a witch hunt! " And then we should keep the samples of his tests for the next 10 years, when scientific research will have made further progress," he concluded." Throwing shit on the wall and see what sticks...drkesterdmd09-04-2025
- This video is weird, the more you look at it the more it seems as if riders vanished. At one point it looks like about 20 riders are going down and the next moment it’s only a dozen or so on the road even though the number of bikes also seems more.Mistermaumau09-04-2025
