Del Toro's 2025 rampage continues with Vuelta a Burgos overall title

For the second time in as many weekends, Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was bested by San Sebastián winner Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) on stage 5 of the Vuelta a Burgos, only this time, Del Toro's runner-up finish saw the Mexican youngster snatch the overall victory from Decathlon-AG2R's Léo Bisiaux.

This marks Del Toro's second consecutive general classification victory since finishing second at the Giro d'Italia, following on from his rout of the Tour of Austria, of which he quickly seized control via three stage wins on the trot.

While the 22-year-old UAE rider will not be lining up at the Vuelta a España later this month, a number of the riders who performed on the Lagunas De Neila will be there, including the on-form Ciccone, Lorenzo Fortunato, Egan Bernal, Giulio Pellizzari, Mikel Landa, and stage 3-winner and overnight leader Bisiaux who is set to make his Grand Tour debut in Spain.
