emirates7 - Building on his recent success at the Tour of Austria, Isaac del Toro delivered an outstanding performance at the Clàssica Terres de l’Ebre, securing his fifth win in just two weeks.
Riding for UAE Team Emirates-XRG, he launched a solo attack and managed to stay clear until the finish line, becoming only the second cyclist ever to win this relatively new Spanish one-day semi-Classic.
Del Toro’s career victories now total 10, with four of those coming from his impressive run at the Tour of Austria. The Mexican rider was one of the standout talents at this year’s Giro d’Italia and demonstrated his class once again with this win in Spain on Monday afternoon.
On the rolling course in Tarragona, Del Toro’s teammates set a relentless pace under the hot midday sun, causing the peloton to fracture from the combined heat and effort. As riders gradually dropped off, Del Toro sensed the perfect moment to take control.
That decisive moment arrived on the climb of Alt de Paüls. With only the strongest riders left in the group, Del Toro surged ahead, powering away from the pack. The rising gradient intensified the challenge, and for a short time, Natnael Tesfatsion of Movistar was the only one able to keep up.
In just two weeks, UAE Team Emirates-XRG’s rising star has doubled his career wins, and Monday’s performance suggests more thrilling races lie ahead for Del Toro in the coming weeks.
