Isaac Del Toro thread

Doubling down, its a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off for him...

If anything his winning of a lot of Italian one day races has rewritten the perception of his weaker performances in the Giro completely

I think I'll let del Toro's legs do the talking. Seems to work pretty well, don't you think?...

They were pretty silent at the critical junctions in May

I'd think almost any Pro Tour rider would take his weaker performance in their 2nd year, at the age of 21, dontchathink?

They're speaking pretty loudly to everyone except you.

Del Toro's Giro did show some weaknesses, but I don't think it's particularly good evidence point to lack future GT capabilities because he is, uh, 21.

What is definitely true is that he's more naturally suited to hilly one day races, especially under a certain distance. I genuinely think only Pogacar beats him at Giro dell'Emilia or even like Fleche Wallone. He's absolutely elite at those, and his acceleration is supreme

Del Toro never had his Giro, he was given the keys to Juan Ayuso's Giro and UAE said do the best you can, all your training and plans to support Juan are in the trash. When Del Toro and his team plan a grand tour debut he will be prepared, so will they

Smell something fishy.. Del Toro scratched from one race, will race with President Pogacar at Tres Valli.2_days later will do Piemonte.. Lombardi on the 11th..don't be surprised if he's a scratch at Piemonte and goes with Pog to Lombardi.. He was able to really back off today, got dragged around for a long time as everyone was chasing Yates unsuccessfully. Really thought will his form and rolling along Isaac was going for gravel rainbow.. Bummer
