‘He’s a friend, but you also need to do your job’ – Isaac del Toro distances Giulio Pellizzari and Matteo Jorgenson to set up overall Tirreno-Adriatico success

Isaac del Toro raced with a maturity beyond his years and with a show of force to win on the final steep hilltop finish in Camerino on Saturday and so set up overall victory at Tirreno-Adriatico.

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader will ride into San Benedetto del Tronto on Sunday and watch the sprinters fight for victory, knowing he has a 42-second lead on Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and 43 seconds on Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike).
