Take a bow, Isaac del Toro. After suffering on stage 16, the 21-year-old Mexican hit back with his first stage victory in the maglia rosa on stage 17 to show his rivals that he is not going to give up the fight for overall victory in the 2025 Corsa Rosa.
The Giro d'Italia seemed to have turned once again on the steep Santa Barbara and San Valentino climbs on Tuesday, with Richard Carapaz (EF Education-Eastpost) and Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike) in the ascendency. Del Toro showed his talent by responding just 24 hours later.
