Overview
- Del Toro secured the overall title on Sunday, finishing the five-stage race in 17:39:48 and winning by 53 seconds over Louis Barré with Marc Hirschi third.
- He reclaimed the leader’s jersey with a long-range attack on Stage 3, which he launched on Saturday and rode with Giulio Pellizzari to close down Nelson Oliveira before Pellizzari took the stage win.
- On the final 156.5 km circuit around Heilbronn Del Toro kept control of the race, launched a late attack with about 12 km to go that was caught near the finish, and still finished with the time buffer he needed.
- Del Toro also won the points and best young rider classifications, marking his fourth stage-race title of 2026 after victories at the UAE Tour, Tirreno–Adriático and Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
- The victory is a milestone for Mexican and Latin American cycling, it raises Del Toro’s profile ahead of the world championships, and fellow Mexican Edgar Cadena finished inside the top 10 of the general classification.
