Del Toro storms to victory at Giro dell'Emilia

UAE Team Emirates-XRG continued their run of remarkable successes on Saturday as Isaac Del Toro stormed to victory at the Giro dell'Emilia and Brandon McNulty continued to defend his lead at the overall title at the CRO Race.

In the 199.2 km Giro dell'Emilia, Del Toro outmatched his rivals in a thrilling finale atop San Luca, out-sprinting Tom Pidcock (Team Q.36.5) in a head-to-head finish to take yet another Italian classic. The race's multiple ascents and punishing circuits threw everything at the riders-but Del Toro timed his effort perfectly, closed a late gap, and showed his strength when it mattered most.

This marks his 14th victory of the year and cements his reputation as one of the season's most formidable one-day riders.

The day also marks the longest race he has won as a professional rider.
