Isaac Del Toro thread

[Wyndbrook]

Del Toro doing crit race in Andora this weekend with Pogacar. So he'll not race the 2 Veneto races..

For me Del Toro still had 4 wins in him. 2x Veneto and 2x NC

Someone must have big pockets to stump up enough start money to draw them to the start.

Del Toro avoided a sprint, jumping and holding off big chase ..Isaac winning by 40 seconds at Giro del Veneto. Sivakov doing an awesome effort to jump in the last @1.5 k rolled a hundred meters in front and held it for second.

His move comes right around @53 minutes into the video

His consistency is very impressive. At the moment seems like if it's a race with a hill in it and no Pogacar - IDT wins.

I have seen enough of him this year now.

I really hope he will have a different calendar next year. Seven of the Italian fall one-day races being won by the same rider is not much fun.

Other than WT races, sure. But his only win against genuinely top competition so far has been Emilia, where Pidcock did him a bit of a favour in randomly going from 1km+ out.

His consistency has been really impressive, I agree – not a single bad day across the 1.Pro and 1.1 races. But all it has really shown to me is that he is extremely consistent and better than Scaroni.

He will, but the problem with riding with Pogacar still is that Pog is doing most if not all of the big races, at least when it comes to the hilly classics, and you still want a rider like Del Toro to get the chance. I think he pretty much only left CSS on the table which he continously will be doing. So in the autumn, unless you do the Vuelta, there really isn't anything to do. Could argue its as much of a calender issue as anything, and he has won against some pretty serious competeition anyways in some of the races, so its not just a total cleanup operation.

True, but I guess he will probably do the Vuelta as Pogi will likely skip it the next two years as well.

If Pogi only rides Liège after Roubaix and Almeida does the Giro, Del Toro will get to lead far more in the spring. And riding for GC in the Tour or the Vuelta should limit his race days afterwards.
