Numero di Isaac Del Toro nella sesta tappa dell’UAE Tour 2026, la Al Ain Museum - Jebel Hafeet di 168 km. Il messicano della UAE Team Emirates-XRG attacca a ripetizione e costringe alla resa un buon Antonio Tiberi che deve lasciare il primato al giovane avversario senza tanti rimpianti. Del Toro trionfa davanti a Luke Plapp (Jayco AlUla), Felix Gall (Decathlon CGM CMA) e allo stesso Tiberi che chiude in quarta posizione a 31" dal messicano, dopo aver fatto un fuorigiri per provare a tenere l'avversario.

LA CORSA. Lungo le strade del deserto vanno in fuga Stefan Bissegger (EF Education Easypost), Axel Huens e Johan Jacobs (Groupama FDJ United), Joshua Tarling e Peter Oxenberg (Ineos Grenadiers), Mark Stewart (Modern Adventure) e Mattia Gaffuri (Team Picnic PostNL), che provano a rendere la vita dura al gruppo.

Sulla salita finale vanno via in coppia Tarling e Oxenberg, ma da dietro incombe il gruppo trainato ancora una volta dagli uomini del sempre frettoloso Gall. L'austriaco attacca insieme a Harold Tejada (XDS Astana), ma la loro azione si esaurisce quando arriva la stoccata di Del Toro, seguito da Tiberi, che li sorpassa a doppia velocità.

Il laziale resiste alla ruota del messicano per un paio di chilometri, ma alla seconda accelerazione decisa deve soccombere. Il messicano si invola verso la vittoria di tappa, la maglia di leader e, a questo punto, la vittoria finale, mentre Tiberi viene raggiunto e superato da Plapp e Gall, potendo comunque ampiamente gestire il secondo posto in generale.
