Rad-star del Toro: The new hero of the Tour of Austria inspires!

Steyr, Österreich - Isaac del Toro, the Mexican cyclist Wunderkind, will make his debut on July 9, 2025 at the tour of Austria in Steyr. The 21-year-old is team-mate of Felix Großschaftner in the UAE team, where he started a promising career with a contract until the end of 2029. Before participating in the Tour of Austria, Del Toro was able to perform remarkable achievements, including a total place at the Giro d’Italia, which he ended in the coveted pink jersey for eleven days.

del Toro, born on November 27, 2003, is considered the greatest young talent in cycling since Tadej Pogacar. His success with Giro d’Italia and the outstanding representation at the Tour de L’Avenir, which he won in 2023 with a stage victory and all special ratings, catapulted him into the cycling world. On this occasion he competed without any noteworthy support on the part of the Mexican national team, which makes his achievements all the more remarkable.

success and potential

Isaac del Toro has already achieved several top positions in different races. For example, he finished third at the Tour Down Under 2024 and was also able to celebrate his first win in the World Tour. His impressive balance sheet includes:

• 1. Space at Milano - Torino 2025
• 2. Space at Vuelta Asturias Julio Alvarez Mendo 2024
• 2. Space at Santos Tour Down Under 2024
• 1. Space at Clásica Jaén 2025

his trainer, Freddy Cruz, has looked after del Toro since he was eighth and describes him as a talented climber with strong skills in time trial.

challenges and team dynamics

At the upcoming Tour of Austria, the UAE team aims to win overall. Del Toro will act as one of three team leaders together with Rafal Majka and Felix Großschartner because there is no defined captain's role. Großschartner, who won gold and silver last weekend at the state championships in individual time trials and street races, was positive about the team strength and the current form of del Toro.

tour director Thomas Pupp describes the occupation of the Tour of Austria as one of the strongest in recent cycling history, which promises the exciting competitions and the high level of competitiveness. The tour will end on July 13, 2025 in Feldkirch.

The impressive success of del Toro is in the context of Mexico's cycling history, which has been waiting for a similar talent winner since Raul Alcala, one of the most successful Mexican cycling professionals in the past that won the white jersey of the Tour de France in 1987. Among other things, Alcala had won two stages of the Tour de France and ended the Vuelta twice in the top ten.

The expectations of Isaac del Toro are high, and his persistent success could help to secure Mexico again in international cycling.
