Overview

  • Isaac del Toro powered to victory in Stage 17’s Mortirolo finish to reinforce his overall lead.
  • The 21-year-old now tops the general classification by 41 seconds over Richard Carapaz and by 51 seconds over Simon Yates.
  • Richard Carapaz’s late climb surge has transformed him into a genuine contender for the maglia rosa.
  • Juan Ayuso dropped out of podium contention after losing over 13 minutes in Stage 16, and Primoz Roglic abandoned following a crash.
  • UAE Team Emirates must marshal support through the remaining mountain stages to defend del Toro’s slender cushion.
