On Sunday, Isaac del Toro sat down for his eighth press conference as leader of the Giro d'Italia, a week on from taking the maglia rosa in Siena. Eight times he's faced the assembled press, eight times faced questions – directly or indirectly – pertaining to whether or not he is trying to win this Giro, whether he or Juan Ayuso is UAE Team Emirates-XRG's main leader.
In press conference number eight, Del Toro appeared a little more nervous than usual, or maybe just a little less patient. These post-stage responsibilities are tiring, especially for a 21-year-old who's never had to do it before, and is already pretty exhausted by fighting in the GC every day in only his second-ever Grand Tour.
