Isaac Del Toro thread

I can see Pogacar giving away Lombardia next year if Del Toro manages to stay with him.

I can see Scarlett Johansson giving me a chance too

$99 dollars a year and that is with 25% discount. Unless I missed a sample in front of a pay wall

I don't pay to subscribe - just look for "Escape en español" on Spotify and it should come up. Most of their main podcasts are available outside of the paywall.

Geez, just to hear what some dudes think?

My content here should be behind a paywall.

I’ll take your posts over long-winded hipster ramblings.

I was thinking OF (only fans) style.

But with the thinking people would pay me NOT to do that.

I’m in. “Nude cycling podcast” is good for a few clicks at least…

He's 21 and sounds coachable. I like this kid.

The federation has bent over backwards for Isaac.
Saturday is the national road race, and literally with local support that he has he can ride from his house to start finish. There are some small climbs( La Gloria, El Tigre) that he knows since childhood. And race goes away from the ocean on climbs and goes on some pretty non descript straight roads coming back. It's an advantage for Baja based racers, this route is used multiple times per year for races. It looks like San Antonio Las Minas is not on..many of the roads that used to be used for races have been left off..with all the expansion in wine country, there are speed bumps and road is getting more and more beat up. If they come out by Zarco and race passed wine museum and wineries it's pretty flat, sometimes windy for @25 k..and then mostly downhill to the water. @40 k laps 4 of them. Nobody will have the depth that Del Toro brings, he can only lose if he wants to.. Same 2 riders with Del Toro in Kigali use these roads for racing and training for years.
Should be fun..

Video images: Loads of Isaac!
Video sound track: Organisers are waiting for confirmation from Del Toro whether he can be present at this event.

 

[Netserk]

Will he do the ITT too?

 

[Wyndbrook]

Needs to stop racing and have a decent break. With UAE's planning he could end up down under in January.
Give whoever might be the next big star a chance to be visible with a title.

"Visible" implies someone is watching that race... 😜

Yeah, he needs to be rested and rebuilded to tackle Vingegaard at the 2026 Giro d'Italia together with Almeida. They can give Vingegaard a true fight in combination if they're fit.

Yes, apparently tomorrow. Assuming he wins the road race, I'm curious about the Mexican champion's jersey. I usually dont care at all, but that should be a beauty and hard to mess up, right?

In mentioning "Nude Cycling" I just want to add the simple truth is most all of those wanting to go around naked in public are the ones you would never want to see naked. LOL

This is UAE we're talking about so unless the Mexican federation has some strict rules regarding the NC jersey (like Belgium, US, etc), it is very easy for them to mess up the jersey.

There are a couple other feeds on YouTube. So you might be able to watch road race Saturday.
If you are able to watch , this start is oriented going towards Pacific Ocean and turning at El Sauzal interchange. This road is still very popular but has become 10,000% more dangerous as the economy has boomed. Right behind starting line is a new housing development with @500+ homes..it used to be one ranch, next to an orphanage. I used to start rides going passed ranch and half dozen horses would come running when they saw my bike because I had carrots. So yes it was a heavy jersey load for first few kilometers. Because of explosive aqua culture business.. There are now shipping container storage yards all over the place.. They ripped out 10-15 acres of olive trees that now has shipping containers stacked 6-8 high..ugly and the trucks picking them up or dropping off are dangerous. Aqua culture stuff is going crazy, tuna, seaweed, sardines, oysters all farmed right in front of the race in the Pacific Ocean. The race will take part in front of Ocean effect temperature front. When you go towards Tecate, famous for beer, the temperature goes way up..and when you ride or race on this road you get a serious boost of energy when you get towards the ocean and temperature gets better, double boost when you come around the corner and you are a few hundred meters high and you can see the Pacific for @10 miles each way.
If you are able to watch the race on this feed or others, the road that parallels the water is probably less than @5-8 k at best.. And the first climbing comes not far from start finish. The toll booth and free road happen in first 5-10 k..and race will blow up by @50+% at first 2 climbs.. It's plateaus at Rancho Bonita and then turns towards wineries. There are obviously few anywhere who can stay with Del Toro but he will likely not want to pace himself in normally medium to heavy winds on race route. There are definitely @15-20 guys who can ride at high pace. And many people from Southern California with dual citizenship will definitely not miss chance to race against Isaac Del Toro ..except @10-20 of those..
I will try and post Facebook feeds if I get permission..
