During Stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia, Geraint Thomas expressed his confusion over Isaac del Toro's tactics as the leader lost his grip on the overall race to Simon Yates. Yates successfully broke away on the Colle delle Finestre, ultimately claiming the pink jersey. Thomas noted the dramatic shift in race dynamics and highlighted Del Toro's reluctance to chase, which led to his demise. He acknowledged Del Toro's commendable second-place finish in his first Grand Tour but criticized the strategy employed by the young rider and his team in a critical moment.
"After providing a resume of how things changed so fast on the Finestre, Thomas began his analysis of the dramatic final turnaround to the Giro."
"Don't get me wrong, second for Del Toro in his first-ever Grand Tour at 21 is a great result, but the way he rode all race, it was like something happened overnight."
