Isaac del Toro has maintained his lead in the Giro d'Italia, confidently securing bonus seconds while downplaying any rivalry with teammate Juan Ayuso. At just 21 years old, he's embracing the challenge of holding the maglia rosa. Despite feeling tired after a grueling 12 days, Del Toro's youthful energy drives him to perform. The UAE Team Emirates-XRG is strategically pursuing time bonuses to strengthen their position. UAE's Sports Manager highlights the importance of seizing opportunities as they arise in the race, ensuring no advantage is left for their competitors.
I'm no sprinter," Del Toro insisted. "Honestly I was expecting the break to take the seconds but the group was nervous and hectic due to the wind, everyone wanted to be up front and the race came back together. I took some more seconds and so I couldn't be happier.
The time bonuses are about mathematics. It's better to take them than let others take them," UAE Sports Manager Joxean Matxin argued. "We don't go into breaks or go on the attack, so if there's a chance to take some seconds we will do.
