Del Toro relinquishes leaders jersey with brave performance
Young Mexican remains in contention at 4th overall at 5''
Isaac Del Toro put in a brave display in defense of his leaders jersey at the Tour Down Under today on the queen stage to Willunga Hill.
The stage was won by Oscar Onley (DSM) who took the sprint from a reduced group with Del Toro close behind at 6” in 8th place.
Finn Fisher Black finished the day in 10th spot at 20” with UAE Team Emirates now leading the overall team classification.
The race concludes tomorrow with a hilly stage 6 from Unley to Mount Lofty (128.2km).
Del Toro: “I did my best and I’m really happy with that. Today was my first real day climbing at the World Tour level and I’m pleased with how it went considering the company I was in. The team helped me a lot and I enjoyed the atmosphere on the road wearing the leaders jersey, an amazing feeling. I will try to recover, be relaxed and tomorrow try again.”
