Del Toro on his most special memory of the year:
💬“On the bus, during the TDF, I realized that the people around me wanted to see me on the podium more than I wanted it myself. I had come without any personal ambition, just to enjoy myself while doing my job.”
💬 “In my mind, it wasn't my time yet. I knew it would come one day, but not now. I hadn't even thought about winning, and then there's this guy (Pogacar) who makes me win on the first day.”
💬”And when I realize that my teammates and staff want to see me finish second or third in the GC, I tell myself: ‘Oh shit, I'm screwed’.”

Del Toro on Paul Seixas:
💬 “He's a great rider who does everything he can to succeed as quickly as possible, and I think that's a good thing because it pushes everyone to show determination.”
💬 “As for the rivalry... If you want one for social media, you'll have one, but that doesn't depend on him or me.”
💬 “In any case, he's a nice guy, and it's good that he's there because he makes this sport even harder.”

Del Toro on the progress of his knee issue:
💬 “We're trying to take care of it as much as possible. The return to training is going rather well for now, but we have to take it step by step.”
💬 “I won't know if it's really okay until I push myself to the limit, and that's precisely the problem. But it's been going on for three years, so I think it will go unnoticed.”
On the serious femur fracture he suffered a few years ago:
💬 “It was one of the most difficult moments of my life and, even today, I still carry the aftereffects. It was also something that helped motivate me this season. It’s good to have made it this far, but not everything is so easy.”
