Overview

  • At 21, Isaac del Toro arrives with a Giro d’Italia runner-up finish and a streak of Italian wins that put him among the riders to watch in Rwanda.
  • He is entered in both the elite individual time trial on September 21 and the men’s road race on September 28 for Mexico.
  • Mexico’s Worlds lineup includes Éder Frayre for the road race and time trial and David Ruvalcaba for the time trial, with Romina Hinojosa in the elite women’s road race.
  • Sébastien Arsenault, who organizes the Québec and Montréal WorldTour races, says talks are underway with Mexican promoters to stage a UCI date in Mexico and believes the UCI would support the effort.
  • Any Mexican WorldTour project remains preliminary and faces institutional obstacles, including the national federation’s suspension since 2021, as UAE’s Joxean Fernández Matxín highlights the careful path that brought Del Toro to the elite level.
