isaac โDel Toro Wins Gran Piemonte 2025, Securing 15th Victory of Season
Turin, Italy – Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates XRG) claimed victory at the 108th Gran Piemonte on Thursday, marking his 15thโ win of theโฃ 2025 season. โขThe Mexican rider powered clear of a strong breakaway โon the second ascent,โข ultimately holdingโ off challengesโข from Bauke Mollema (Lidl-Trek) and Marc โHirschi (Tudorโข Pro Cycling Team).
The race, a key warm-up event before Saturday’s Tour of Lombardy, saw anโค early breakaway featuring Victor Langelotti (INEOS Grenadiers), Matteo Trentin (Tudor Pro Cycling Team), Quinten Hermans (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and Jan Tratnik โข(Red Bull-bora-Hansgrohe).However, the decisive movesโ came on the Castelletto d’Erro climb (6.1โ km at 5.2%), โขwhereโค accelerations fromโค Hirschi, Mollema, โand Juan Ayuso (Movistar Team) formed a chasing group that eventuallyโ joined the leaders.
del Toro launched his attack during the second ascent, bridging to the frontโ beforeโ droppingโ Hirschi and then Mollema. Fabio Christen secured fourth place by winning the sprint withinโ the peloton.
The win comes after Neilson Powless’ โvictory in 2024 and positions Del Toro as a strong contender headingโฃ into the final Monument of โthe season.
