Isaac del Toro Claims Third Consecutive Stage and Takes Tour de Austria Lead

A 29-second advantage plus ownership of both classification jerseys puts him on the brink of a first Mexican Tour de Austria title.

Overview

  • Isaac del Toro claimed the fourth stage—117.3 kilometers from Innsbruck to Kühtai with 3,500 meters of climbing—in 3 hours, 27 minutes and 20 seconds for his third straight win.
  • That triumph vaulted the 21-year-old into the overall lead with a 29-second margin over Ireland’s Archie Ryan.
  • He also holds the points and best-young-rider jerseys, donning both green and white ahead of the finale.
  • UAE Team Emirates controlled the key climbs and set up decisive attacks, with teammates like Rafal Majka helping to thin the field.
  • On Sunday’s 144-kilometer final stage around Feldkirch, Del Toro will seek to secure a maiden Tour de Austria title for Mexico.
