Isaac Del Toro & Gran Piemonte Tactics
Young Mexican cycling phenomenon Isaac Del Toro delivered a masterclass performance on this exact 185km Asti to Bra course layout.
Attacking on the second pass over the La Morra climb (7.1 km at 3.8%), Del Toro splintered the peloton and soloed into Bra. His tactical strategy on the La Morra crest serves as the blueprint for contenders in this year’s race.
“Positioning into the first La Morra ascent is critical, but saving energy for the second pass is what wins Gran Piemonte.” — Isaac Del Toro Race Analysis
