Mexican Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is the overall winner of the seven-day race in the United Arab Emirates. The final stage in Abu Dhabi (149 km) went to Italian Jonathan Milano, while the sole Slovenian representative in the UAE, Luka Mezgec, took eighth place.
Isaac del Toro is the virtual champion of the UAE Tour. The Mexican pedalist triumphed in stage six of the race to ascend to the top of the standings and practically secure the title in his first competition of the year.
The UAE Tour cyclists are just one final sprint stage away. Isaac del Toro took victory on the challenging Jebel Hafit, with Remco Evenepoel close behind.
A series of attacks paid off a good two kilometers below the top of the finishing climb of Jebel Hafit (10.8 km/5.4%), when Isaac del Toro just got rid of Antonio Tiberio - the stage and overall lead for the Mexican before the final sprint day of the 8th Tour of the UAE.
Isaac del Toro is going to win his first WorldTour race in stages. The Mexican had no rival in the Jebel Hafeet and, after smashing Antonio Tiberi, added his second stage win at the UAE Tour 2026. A victory, the 23rd of his career, that places him leader of the general in what represents the twelfth victory of the year for UAE Team Emirates.
