Overview
- On the penultimate stage, 19-year-old Paul Seixas crashed on a descent, remounted and finished seventh with visible abrasions but lost time to the leaders.
- Isaac Del Toro won the penultimate mountain stage and then soloed to victory on the final Alpine climb to secure the overall title.
- Seixas abandoned about 30 kilometres into the final stage because of lingering injuries from his Saturday crash.
- Seixas’ team reported only multiple abrasions and no structural damage and said his start at the Tour de France is not expected to be in danger.
- Del Toro finished 54 seconds ahead of Luke Tuckwell in the final classification, a result that elevates his status as a Tour de France support rider and highlights how late-June prep races can change team plans and young riders’ trajectories.
