Isaac Del Toro thread

Will Facebook still be used as a means of communication in 2026?

If it's a muscle tear, it'll be 2-3 weeks. It's not a long-term injury, but they have to be careful because it's easy to relapse. They shouldn't take him to the Ardennes.
Pidcock and Del Toro were the favorites for Fleche Wallonne. A good opportunity for the rest.

2026? 80+% of distant grandparents communicate using Facebook with family and friends. How will people from high school or defunked mountain bike polo league be able to find out where one another live? Del Toro has a couple of 20 something friends that repost things about him and thousands go there because it's easy and not too technical.

A torn muscle can easily be 4 to 6 weeks.

Sucks for Del Torro. Hopefully in good shape for TdF.

Depends a lot. Can be way less. We don't know how deep is the muscle tear.

Main takes:
- No broken bones
- Muscle tear in his thigh
- he will need further exams to assess how is his body 24 hours after his crash (probably to see how deep is his tear). After this, they will know how much time he will be out.
- Rest in the next days

Usually a tear requires to stop using that muscle for a few days, then starting again but progressively on several weeks. It all depends on where it is and the width of the tear though.

Yes, I would imagine physical therapy will take some time before he can use the muscle full-on again (which will probably put a dent in his form), hopefully the tear isn't too bad.

Pidcock and Del Toro were favorites for Fleche Wallone and they won't be there. Who's the favorite now? Vauquelin?

Many cyclists should set this race as a goal. It's an opportunity given this absences.

The internet doctors are scaring me!

Seixas.

Alaphilippe or Lenny Martinez. French podium sweep.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Seixas.

He only does Liège.

 

[KZD]

He only does Liège.

No, he does both Flèche and Liège, confirmed again yesterday.

L'évidence de juillet

Sa première victoire, sa première en World Tour, sa première par étapes, Paul Seixas a coché des cases. Le voir sur le Tour cet été devrait être une évidence.

All should be encouraged that Del Toro was beat but not broken, it's certainly a serious injury but a broken bone could have easily compounded his problems, and as things go, soft tissue damage in already awesome leg muscles is a weirdly best case scenario. The big team and individual hit will come if it's determined that he won't support for TDF..not the end of the world, 22 ,third pro season but keeping in mind that he did Vuelta in his first year, good results, second year he did the now infamous Giro and now a chance to do the Tour in 3rd year was a dream come true.
Fingers crossed.
