Del Toro wins third stage in a row and takes over Tour of Austria lead – from his teammate

While Tadej Pogačar embarks on another rampage in France, UAE Team Emirates-XRG have not let up their domination elsewhere. The squad has completely dominated the Tour of Austria so far, and no one more than Giro d'Italia nearly-man Isaac Del Toro, whose stage 4 triumph was his third in a row.

The 21-year-old Mexican's victory on the Cat.1 Kühtai, the second step of a two-climb double-header starting with the HC Ötztal Sattele, also means Del Toro finally took over the race lead from teammate Felix Großschartner who got the UAE clean sweep underway on stage 1.

With one stage remaining, Del Toro leads the Tour of Austria by 29 seconds over Archie Ryan (EF Education-EasyPost), the only non-UAE rider on the GC podium that they'd dominated from the start.
