Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — Mexican cyclist Isaac Del Toro claimed victory at the UAE Tour on Sunday, securing the overall classification after the final stage in Abu Dhabi.
The 22-year-old rider from the UAE Team Emirates squad won the opening stage last Monday and the decisive penultimate stage on Saturday at the summit of Jebel Hafeet. He succeeds his teammate, Slovenian star Tadej Pogačar, who did not compete in this year’s edition.
Del Toro finished 20 seconds ahead of Italian rider Antonio Tiberi in the general classification, with Australia’s Lucas Plapp taking third place, 1 minute and 14 seconds behind. Colombian cyclist Harold Tejada missed the podium by just eleven seconds.
The final stage ended in a sprint finish, with Italian rider Jonathan Milan securing his third stage win of the race. Milan edged out Norway’s Erlend Blikra and Australia’s Sam Welsford at the line.
