Isaac Del Toro claims win number 18 (!) of 2025 in Mexico (but officially ends the season on 16)

Del Toro had already proven himself the strongest earlier this week in the time trial in Mexico, where the national championship was deliberately organized in October to welcome the great cycling hero. Because the UCI cycling season ended on October 19, we are awarding Del Toro the two national titles in his own country for 2026.

This ended the climber's brilliant season, which included 18 victories, 16 of which were officially recorded in 2025. The other two will be carried over to 2026, the year in which Del Toro will also be allowed to wear the Mexican champion's jersey, whether it will be obvious remains to be seen. UAE Emirates-XRG is not usually a team that designs beautiful, eye-catching champion's jerseys.
