Mexican Isaac Del Toro won the second stage of the Tour de France ahead of reigning champion Tadej Pogacar in Barcelona on Sunday as Jonas Vingegaard maintained his overall lead.
Del Toro led home his UAE team leader Pogacar on the short, steep climb to the finish at Montjuic, with Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel taking third just ahead of Vingegaard.
“It means really everything,” said Del Toro, who is making his Tour debut having finished second at the Giro d’Italia last year.
“I’m a very privileged guy. You cannot believe how much work it took to get here,” added the 22-year-old.
Pogacar took six bonus seconds at the finish to move up to second in the yellow jersey standings at just six seconds behind Vinegaard, with Evenepoel now third at 15sec.
