Isaac Del Toro is in second year depth of training and racing at pro level speeds, pro level distances, pro level tactics. He is nowhere near a Pogacar or Remco, Del Toro is super talented, undeniable upward trajectory but he is a smart person, he has realistic expectations against riders throughout, but he is not going to race against his experience at UAE. He not going to reinvent a life were riders on his trade team are his advisories, not going to happen. He is going to follow Pogacar not attack him.
Ayuso is open season.
WC races and Olympics often have riders from federations of varying depth so that will make early part of the race more dangerous. Regardless of the media, Del Toro is learning, he has not mastered anything despite 10 wins this season. He will follow Pogacar( so will everyone else) and his trade team alliance.
Ayuso may have some grand plan to teach UAE a lesson and show them what they are missing but Del Toro will play by the rules, follow directions, stay in line with the " dictatorship " because abiding by teams direction is part of his early success, he knows that.
Del Toro knows he is racing his second season and will follow the advice of the massive experience at UAE and Isaac has guys like Solar, Almeida, Majka, Pogacar, McNulty to get advice from, unlike Juan Ayuso , Del Toro can't imagine being part of a better organization.
Ayuso went WT level in 2021 has 16 wins,
Del Toro joined WT level in 2024 and has 13 pro wins.
Heartbreaking that Juan Ayuso let's his ego get in the way of finishing out his ride at UAE calmly and professionally.
