Cyclisme : Isaac del Toro prioritizes performance over friendships at Tirreno-Adriatico

Isaac del Toro dominates the final hilltop finish in Camerino, securing his overall lead at Tirreno-Adriatico. The UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader now holds a 42-second advantage over Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and 43 seconds on Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike). The 22-year-old Mexican displays remarkable maturity, expertly handling attacks on the steep 20% gradients. Unlike last year, Del Toro remains focused, refusing to react too quickly to Pellizzari and Jorgenson's moves. As the gradients ease, he powers ahead, clinching the stage victory and enhancing his overall lead. Del Toro also adds the ciclamino points jersey to his collection, alongside the leader's blue jersey and the best young rider's white jersey. A moment of camaraderie follows as Pellizzari, a close friend, congratulates him. Del Toro is on track to lift the Tirreno-Adriatico winner's trident trophy.
