Competing at the top level for the past two years, since his breakthrough at the 2024 Tour Down Under, Isaac del Toro has done more than win. He has also learned from both his successes and mistakes, something that he repeats in interviews, as he did on the eve of the Singapore Criterium.

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider enjoyed a remarkable 2026 season which included winning the overall at four WorldTour stage races: the UAE Tour, Tirreno-Adriatico, the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal. He also won a stage and finished third overall on his Tour de France debut, helping team leader Tadej Pogačar secure his fifth overall victory.
