Del Toro receives praise after triumph in Austria

Isaac del Toro made history this weekend by being crowned champion of the Tour of Austria.

The Ensenada, Baja California native became the first Mexican to win this cycling competition, showcasing his immense talent and wowing the cycling press.

Del Toro put on a great performance a few weeks ago at the Giro d'Italia, where he came close to winning the legendary competition, but lost out in the closing stages of the race.

However, from then on, he began to gain more popularity within the industry, and the press began to praise him. After his great victory in the 74th edition of the Tour of Austria, the Mexican received rave reviews for his level of performance throughout the stages of the competition.

Del Toro crossed the finish line in 19th place, with a cumulative time of 17 hours, 51 minutes, and 18 seconds, securing this new victory that earned him rave reviews from the Austrian press.

“As this year's Giro d'Italia runner-up, (Isaac) Del Toro had already revolutionized the elite and previously demonstrated his talent by winning the important Tour de l'Avenir,” reported Sports Krone. “The young star retained his triumph at the Giro d'Austria. The 21-year-old, who had donned the red jersey the day before, and his UAE Racing team dominated Sunday's final stage,” wrote Sport ORF.— El Universal
