The UAE Tour 2026 continues, with Mexican cyclist Isaac del Toro finishing Stage 4, a 182-kilometer route starting and ending in Fujairah, in 23rd place. Despite this position, the results did not alter the overall standings, allowing del Toro to maintain his spot as the second overall rider, trailing Italian Antonio Tiberi, who leads by just 21 seconds. This maintains the excitement in the competition as del Toro aims to challenge for the top spot.

Stage 4's winner was Italian Jonathan Milan from Lidl-Trek, followed closely by British cyclist Ethan Vernon from NSN Cycling, who secured second place, and Matteo Milan, brother of the leader, taking third. The stage itself served as a transition day following previous challenging individual time trials and mountain stages, allowing for tactical racing among competitors. A significant five-rider breakaway formed during the race, demonstrating the strategic elements at play in the UAE Tour series.

This performance is crucial for del Toro not only in terms of standings but also in building momentum as the tour progresses. The Mexican cyclist's perseverance and determination reflect a strong competitive spirit, suggesting that he remains a serious contender in the remaining stages of the UAE Tour. As the race unfolds, all eyes will be on del Toro to see if he can close the gap on Tiberi and potentially take the overall lead in this prestigious cycling event.
