But thanks for the laugh, toby.

You're welcome... All that excitement, and then it was all for nothing

When I hear the name Del Toro, I think of Guillermo. Just like I think of Steven when I hear Spielberg.

Never heard of him. But it seems odd to give the forename of somebody who happens to share the same, not particularly rare, surname as a nickname.

Apparently, he got dropped on purpose in the final 10 kilometres today to give himself an effort in chasing back to the peloton - training for tomorrow.

What a guy.

Imagine him and Hayter on the same team. Every domestique would age 20 years in a single season.

How ridiculously confident have you got to be to do a bit of interval training in the last 8 kms of a World Tour sprint stage. Pure ciclismo.

 

[Landeirovic]

interesting stage tomorrow. Del Toro has nothing to lose. it is a finish that should suit him well. he is very explosive.

Can you imagine the marketing value of 'the bull'?

This is a natural fit for Red Bull. I think Red Bull is very popular in the Latin America community. Personally, it's like bull piss, but money talks.

Personally, I've never tried bull piss but each to their own.

What is with all these worldbeaters coming from tiny cycling nations lately?

A bit of an off the cuff remark this but, possibly the sport opening up, being less regimented in its ideas about "cycling nations" or deference to the peloton hierarchy, when you are allowed to be successful etc.

 

[Panda Claws]

And the fall of Italy!

 

[Izzyeviel]

It's all down hill for him now.

Im OFF the bandwagon!

Im OFF the bandwagon!

There is room in the wagon!!
time bonuses are always part of the race.. Margins are always really really thin!! Unlikely but always a chance he gets something!!
Isaac is surrounded by the best and besides teammates w variety of similar experiences, the staff on UAE will put things in perspective.. I am also disappointed that he didn't marry Margot Robbie and they moved to Baja!! Maybe next time.. UAE will keep things grounded..guy should not have any regrets!!

 

[armchairclimber]

What a nice kid. Humble and gracious in the post race interview. I hope he at least has a poke at tomorrow.

 

[Unchained]

Gave it a shot, attacking when they thought he wouldn't. Great result. Williams raced great..

Interesting style. Lots of speed changes. But always there

DEI baby

TBF, some of the worldbeaters are from major cycling nations like - *checks notes* - Denmark and Slovenia.
And I know it's not that long ago neither were considered major cycling nations, but things change; maybe in a few years, Mexico will be considered a major cycling nation.

 

[armchairclimber]

What an exciting performance from this kid. Aggressive riding. Couldn't shake his rivals, but at least he had a go. One of the more impressive WT debuts I can remember.

 

[Berniece]

He did much better than I expected him to. Great start of his professional career
