The twentieth stage will decide the winner of the Giro d'Italia and Isaac Del Toro can truly dream of climbing onto the podium in Rome as the race's triumphant champion. Winning is always important, but if you win one of the three grand tours at just 21 years old, then you can truly say you've done something extraordinary. "Tomorrow's stage doesn't motivate me more than the others" – Del Toro said in the press conference – "Every day I've had great motivation, it's what I do every day. I think we'll experience a situation similar to today's, it was nice to race with fans on the road and that is very important".

The stage ending in Champoluc had many difficult climbs and the group of best riders preferred not to attack, leaving the victory to the Frenchman Prudhomme.

"At the beginning, I was surprised that there were no attacks, but with the wind, when you try to go alone on some parts of the climbs, you can find yourself in difficulty. Probably this is why some riders didn't want to attack from far away, but in the end I think they didn't attack to avoid risks. As a team, we had a good day and I think I rode well today and tried to do well for the team guys who every day have done an incredible job for me. Today I feel a bit more confident even if it was a difficult day for everyone, but it was very nice to have my teammates around".

Tomorrow there will be the Colle delle Finestre, where the pink race has seen extraordinary battles and attacks that have made Giro history, like Froome's in 2018.

"I've watched Froome's attack many times, it's a fantastic scene, it will certainly be magical for me and we'll see how it will be tomorrow".

Today Visma-Lease a Bike tried to make the race harder, this to put the young Mexican in difficulty and almost certainly, they will try again tomorrow. "I think Visma acted this way because they want to make me suffer. Even on the last day they will try to do so. EF will also try to push, because they will try to win the race. Perhaps Red Bull will also attempt to do something similar, but we are ready".

Isaac Del Toro appeared calm and answered all the questions he was asked and when he was asked if he was superstitious, the young Mexican paused and reflected and then with a smile, nodded several times, but without saying what was on his mind at that precise moment. "Clearly winning with the pink jersey would be a dream scenario, however I am very superstitious and prefer not to answer this question".
