After stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia, there were negative takes on UAE Team Emirates-XRG, specifically regarding Isaac del Toro's performance. He lost time but bounced back impressively on stage 17, winning in Bormio and maintaining his pink jersey. Despite some weaknesses in the long climbs, Del Toro has shown resilience and strength as a contender in the race. The Giro remains competitive with four main contenders closely vying for the lead, demonstrating that many predictions about the race's outcome may have been premature.
"Many rivals looked stronger than Del Toro, and some onlookers even said it was clear that the Mexican was not going to win this Giro."
"Del Toro's performance on stage 17 showed that it's not quite as simple as that... he's definitely shown that anyone who wrote him off after stage 16 was wrong."
