Isaac del Toro of UAE Team Emirates-XRG achieved victory at Milano-Torino but was penalized for finishing with an unzipped jersey due to a broken zip. The incident frustrated his sponsors and led to a fine under UCI regulations concerning sports image. Though unable to rectify the issue during the race, del Toro demonstrated resilience to win despite his wardrobe malfunction. The race win didn't contribute UCI points, but UAE Team Emirates remains successful with 19 victories in 2025, reducing the weight of the fine. Del Toro is set to race again at Milan-San Remo soon.
Del Toro crossed the line with his jersey fully open after his zip had broken part-way through the race, causing annoyance for sponsors and a penalty.
Riders generally shouldn't finish races with their chest exposed, as it goes against UCI rules meant to maintain the sport's image.
Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Del Toro managed to secure his first victory of the year, showcasing his talent despite the odd situation.
UAE Team Emirates has secured 19 victories so far in 2025, diminishing the impact of Del Toro's lost UCI points.
