Isaac del Toro captured his first stage win at the Giro d'Italia, proving he remains a contender for overall victory. After struggling on stage 16, del Toro bounced back remarkably on stage 17. He emphasized the importance of mental resilience in cycling, stating that bad days are part of the sport. Del Toro's team executed a solid strategy despite losing teammate Jay Vine, culminating in an impressive performance where he outpaced rivals Richard Carapaz and Romain Bardet. His determination shines through as he aims for victory for himself and his team.
My chances of winning the Giro are the same as when I started in Albania. I want to finish this off, especially for the guys in the team. They're always there for me.
I tried not to make mistakes, then late on, Rafal Majka came to me and said 'We go for the stage win'. I said 'OK, no stress.' I didn't have anything to lose, so it was nice to try for it.
