Giro d'Italia, Isaac Del Toro explains exultation at Bormio finish line
Here are statements from Mexican Isaac Del Toro after his solo finish at the finish line of the 17th stage of the Giro d’Italia in Bormio that allowed him to consolidate the pink jersey.
“I had a bad day yesterday, but it can happen to anyone. I think a lot of us were in trouble. This is the first time I am in charge of a Grand Tour, so I have to adapt to this new dimension.”
“Carapaz is a very dangerous rival, and he remains so even after today’s stage. In the finale I played smart and, when I saw that I had opened a small gap, I tried to push until the end to keep the others at arm’s length.”
“My jubilation was first born for fun, since I did it at the Milan-Turin because my zipper broke. Now, however, it is also a way to thank the people on the roads for the support. In every small town I hear people calling my name and that is a source of pride for me. I am grateful to all the Italian fans”.
