The Isaac del Toro pink jersey hits the table on the table and won the 17th stage ahead of Romain Bardet

A success with pride. Victim of a failure in the final rise the day before, the Isaac del Toro pink jersey (UAE Team Emirates) responded to the competition by winning the 17th stage of the Tour of Italy, Wednesday May 28 in Bormio. Three times second since the departure of this Giro, the Mexican went to seek victory in the mountain by attacking less than 10 kilometers from the finish, accompanied by the Equatorian Richard Carapaz (EF Education-Easypost), to catch up Romain Bardet (Picnic Postnl).

In fronts all day long, the French had just distorted company to the escapes to try to go and offer a first bouquet on the Tour of Italy, less than three weeks from retirement. But he had to be satisfied with second place behind the man in pink, who made a small hole in the red flame to count four seconds ahead of the line on his two pursuers.

With this success, Isaac Del Toro resumes a few precious seconds in first place in the general classification on Richard Carapaz (at 41 “), which chips the Dauphin chair at the British Simon Yates (Team Visma-Lease A Bike, at 51”). Also note the beautiful day of Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), an orphan of Primoz Roglic, new seventh of the general (at 5'02 “).
