-
Playing the final few kilometres to perfection, UAE Team Emirates-XRG's young Mexican star Isaac del Toro claimed victory in the 2025 Milano-Torino on Wednesday afternoon.
The 21-year-old recently impressed in Tirreno-Adriatico in service of eventual race winner Juan Ayuso, but given his own opportunity in Turin, the young climber rose to the fore and picked off his first ever one-day win. The victory was no less than UAE Team Emirates-XRG deserved, with each and every rider of the Emirati squad producing a sterling display to set up Del Toro for the finale.
It was Del Toro who provoked the race-winning attack alongside Ben Tulett (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X Pro Cycling), before the Mexican outsprinted both rivals to the line.
Taking a well-deserved bow as he crossed the line, Del Toro became the first winner of the world's oldest Classic to triumph atop the Superga since the climb was last used in 2021. He becomes the first UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider to ever win the race, and ensures that the team enacts revenge after finishing 2-3-4 in last year's edition.
