Isaac del Toro Aims to Regain Form at Vuelta a Burgos After Getxo Triumph and Stage-1 Crash

Barred by UCI age-limit rules from the Vuelta a España, the 21-year-old Mexican remains focused on guiding UAE Team Emirates through the remaining stages of Burgos.

Overview

  • Del Toro became the first Mexican and Latin American to win the 80th Circuito de Getxo with a solo attack that crossed the line 20 seconds ahead of Juan Ayuso and Alex Aranburu.
  • His victory at Getxo marked his eighth win of the 2025 season, adding to a queen-stage triumph and runner-up finish at the Giro d’Italia and an overall title at the Tour de Austria.
  • Designated as UAE Team Emirates’ leader, he launched his Burgos campaign on August 5, targeting the race’s final summit finish at Lagunas de Neila.
  • A fall just meters from the stage-1 finish at the Castillo de Burgos cost him a top-10 result but left him uninjured and determined to recover.
  • UCI regulations limiting under-25 riders to one three-week Grand Tour this season will rule him out of the upcoming Vuelta a España.
