Overview

  • Pogačar attacked on the Montello descent about 22 km from the finish and stayed clear to win in 4:34:28, 45 seconds ahead of Albert Withen Philipsen with Julian Alaphilippe third.
  • Isaac del Toro helped control the elite group in the closing laps and, after his team duties, finished eighth for UAE Team Emirates.
  • Pogačar said Del Toro was “key in the decisive moments,” noting he could fully commit to the move knowing his teammate covered the chase behind.
  • The performance comes in the final run-in to Il Lombardia on Oct. 11, with Del Toro slated to race Gran Piemonte on Oct. 9 as part of his buildup.
  • Reports portray Del Toro’s first full WorldTour season as a rapid rise, with unconfirmed industry chatter suggesting UAE may seek to extend his deal beyond 2029.
