Tirreno Adriatico 2026: Isaac Del Toro Wins, Jonathan Milan Shines Isaac Del Toro, a 22-year-old Mexican rider, has claimed victory in the Tirreno Adriatico 2026, marking the first time a Mexican cyclist has won the race in its history. With 26 professional victories under his belt, Del Toro has surpassed the career achievements of Tadej Pogačar at the same age. The podium was completed by American Matteo Jorgenson, who became the third U.S. rider to finish in the top three, and Italian Giulio Pellizzari. The final sprint, a thrilling climax, saw Jonathan Milan of Lidl-Trek secure the stage win with a decisive performance in San Benedetto del Tronto. Sam Welsford of Ineos Grenadiers finished second, while Laurenz Rex of Soudal-QuickStep took third. Milan’s victory extended his dominance in the race, marking his third consecutive win in San Benedetto and his fifth overall in the Tirreno Adriatico, making him the most decorated rider of the season so far. The race unfolded with a dramatic twist as Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Premier Tech took control of the final stage, treating it as a personal training session for the upcoming Milano-Sanremo. Initially, a small group led by Xabier Mikel Azparren, Roberto Carlos González, and Dries De Bondt built a four-minute lead, but van der Poel’s aggressive tactics in the climb to Ripatransone shifted the momentum. His efforts aimed to support teammate Jasper Philipsen, but the peloton’s dynamics changed as the race narrowed. Van der Poel’s relentless pace kept the top contenders in check, while the rest of the field struggled to keep up. By the time the race reached San Benedetto, the Ineos Grenadiers reeled in the peloton, ending van der Poel’s solo display.#isaac_del_toro #tirreno_adriatico #jonathan_milan #matteo_jorgenson #mathieu_van_der_poel
Santiago Buitrago concludes the Tirreno-Adriático in seventh place Published 15/03/2026 by Sebastian Vallejo His recent participation in Italian territory leaves a positive taste at the start of the season. The standout performer is Isaac Del Toro. While Jonas Vingegaard secured an unprecedented victory in the Paris-Nice, in another part of Europe, the Mexican cyclist claimed the Tirreno-Adriático. Undoubtedly, the event brings a favorable flavor to Latin America, not only for the Mexican but also for the strong performance of Santiago Buitrago. Del Toro completed the race in 28 hours, 2 minutes, and 14 seconds in the overall classification. The second-best Latin American finisher was Buitrago, the Bahrain-Victorious rider who took the team’s flag. He finished 1 minute and 49 seconds behind the Colombian champion. Following Egan Bernal’s injury that altered his plans after confirming his participation in the event, Buitrago emerged as the main Colombian contender alongside Nairo Quintana. The Boyacense rider, representing Movistar Team, finished 19th, far behind the leader, 7 minutes and 15 seconds down. Perhaps Buitrago did not shine in the early stages. He had previously secured the Trofeo Laigueglia title, contested shortly before the start of the traditional Tirreno-Adriático. The Colombian’s breakthrough came in the sixth stage, the race’s queen stage, where he claimed sixth place. Regarding the final stage, Italian Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) resolved the conclusion, showcasing his experience in the final sprint. Following Buitrago and Nairo Quintana, rider Brandon Rivera (INEOS) finished 76th, 50 minutes and 28 seconds behind the winner. This marks the end of Colombian participation, recalling that Fernando Gaviria, from Caja Rural, withdrew from the competition.#isaac_del_toro #santiago_buitrago #bahrain_victorious #movistar_team #tirreno_adriatico
