Fabio Aru pushes Isaac Del Toro toward triumph at Giro d'Italia

Fabio Aru has no doubts regarding the Giro d’Italia entered its final week: “It is not too early for Del Toro to win”.

“There is no right time and wrong time. There is the truth of the road, and it is rewarding Del Toro. I have seen what he is doing, and it is very important. He is showing solidity.”

“The fact that he ended the second week in great condition. This makes me think that he can maintain it, rather than imagining a sudden decline of which for now there are no signs. Also because the way of preparing for the big appointments has changed. Enormous progress has been made in training, in nutrition, in focus. To put it bluntly: I can’t imagine him ever having a hunger crisis in a race.”

“Does anyone venture Del Toro-Pogacar comparisons ?They don’t fit. For the situation that has been created, it seems to me that Isaac is now the favorite for the Giro given what he did from Tirana to Asiago. He is already ready to win, he is complete. But Tadej has proven, confirmed, reconfirmed again and continues to do so…For what I have seen, he is the best ever.”
