Del Toro takes Tour of Austria victory, but Jungels ends UAE stage sweep

The Tour of Austria closed on Sunday with a lumpy stage 5 that went the way of the breakaway. There were no threats to the overall in the move, though, and race leader Isaac Del Toro finished safe in the group to seal his first GC win of the season ahead of Ef Education-Easypost's Archie Ryan and UAE teammate Rafał Majka.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG had dominated the entire race from the start when home hero Felix Großschartner opened the team's account. Del Toro then took over the spotlight with a hattrick of stage wins that saw him take over the race lead on Saturday's Queen Stage.

The team failed to sweep all five stages, however, as Bob Jungels (Ineos Grenadiers) snuck away from his breakaway companions to take an emotional stage 5 win after 40 km solo. It's the Luxembourger's first victory on the road since his Tour de France stage win in 2022.
