Del Toro : “For the first TT of the year I’m really happy with it. There was strong rivals here and some big names so it feels nice and motivating to be among them. This is the biggest TT I’ve done in my career so far so it’s nice that it went well. I’m still learning and taking it all in this new experience and I’m really enjoying it so far.”
Antonio Morgado continues to climb the GC, now sitting in 9th place at 1’39”.
