Isaac del Toro eyed double Mexican delight after claiming a victory in Stage 2 of the Tour de France 2026 on Sunday in his Grand Boucle debut.

The 22-year-old led home his team leader Tadej Pogačar for a UAE Team Emirates 1-2 finish on the Tour's 169-kilometer second stage from Tarragona to Barcelona.

Now, all Mexican eyes will be turned to the FIFA World Cup last-16 clash in Mexico City between the co-hosts and England.

All eyes except Del Toro's, though, as the match is due to kickoff at 2 a.m. Spanish time.

"I think I'm not allowed (to watch the game)," said Del Toro, who became the first Mexican Tour stage winner since Raul Alcala in 1990. "I would love to see the match, but I don't have the energy today to wake up (at 2 a.m.). 

"I'm too tired. Today was full-gas, but I just wish (them) the best of luck. They are doing a crazy good job, and everybody is going like 200% effort, so I hope we take this home. I know it will be a very hard match, but we will see in the morning what the score is."

Del Toro also admitted that a Mexican win at the World Cup would top his own Tour success.

"I think everybody will be pleased about myself," he said. "But all the people know football in Mexico, and they watch. It's part of the culture. So, I think for satisfaction, they will be a little bit happier because they understand 100% what's going on and what it means for Mexico. It would be one of the best things for the country to win both today (at the Tour) and also after (in the football)."

Del Toro paid tribute to Pogačar, who let his teammate take the Stage 2 victory on the short, steep final Montjuic climb, when he looked to have the legs to be able to push on and win himself.

"We are quite proud to have one friend like this in the team," said the Mexican, whose stage victory helped him take the lead in the green points jersey and young rider standings. "I appreciate a lot his time and how much he wants to perform with us, to be with us, and to help us to be better.

"Thanks to him, the sport changed a little bit and, also, he is pushing everybody to be better.

"I know he doesn't realize these kind of things because it's hard, but I'm super proud to be near to one human being like this.

"It's super nice, and you can learn always something about him."

Jonas Vingegaard Just Enjoying Solid Start At Tour de France 2026

Race leader Jonas Vingegaard came home in fourth place Sunday, just behind Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, in the same time as the winner.

But the bonus seconds claimed by the first three finishers meant the Dane's lead in the yellow jersey competition was cut to six seconds to Pogačar, a four-time TDF winner, with Evenepoel now at 15 seconds, and Del Toro at 16 seconds.

With another 19 stages still to go, Vingegaard admitted that his team would not be too disappointed to give up the yellow jersey at some point and let another outfit control the pace in subsequent stages.

"As I said yesterday and today, I enjoy every single day in the yellow jersey," said the 29-year-old, who had not worn the yellow jersey since his second overall victory in 2023, before claiming it in Saturday's team time trial. "Of course, at one moment, it might be a good thing (to give it up), but for now, I will just enjoy it."

Vingegaard is the reigning Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España champion.

Young French starlet Paul Seixas was a relieved man to reach the finish after he was almost hit by a driver as he chased back to the peloton following a puncture.

"I almost hit a car that didn't look in his rear view mirror," said the 19-year-old Tour debutant, who was riding back through the team cars alongside Decathlon CMA CGM teammate Aurelien Paret-Peintre. "I really was very scared with Aurelien. It really was very dangerous."

He did manage to rejoin the peloton and finished an impressive ninth, three seconds back from Del Toro, to move up to sixth overall at 42 seconds from Vingegaard.
