Isaac del Toro wins in Barcelona thanks to Pogacar

Source Summary

The cyclist rooted in Catalonia Alex Molenaar was part of the breakaway of the day. He is the son of a Dutch father and a Catalan mother. He was born in Rotterdam but at 12 years old with the family they moved to Olot and very soon he started cycling at the Club Ciclista Olot, his starting point to become a professional cyclist. He currently works for the Caja Rural team, which debuted this year in the Tour with 2 Catalan cyclists . Molenaar has been the virtual leader for a handful of kilometers, he won the special sprint in Viladecans, he was the first to crest the Coll de Begues but his adventure with Engelhardt ended with a handshake just before the peloton absorbed them at the entrance to Barcelona. The Dutchman from Olot has fully justified the presence of his invited team in the Tour, after managing to climb to the podium to wear the mountain jersey. The stage was won by the Mexican Isaac del Toro, who had the complicity of his leader, Tadej Pogacar, to win his first stage in the year of his debut in the French tour.
