UAE Team Emirates-XRG took charge of the race once called the Dauphin\u00e9 to seize a dominant victory on the stage 8 summit finish, which will also feature in July.<\/p>\n

At the end of a rollercoaster week at the Tour Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes, during which it seemed almost anything could happen, the race ended with a slightly chilling reminder of what might be expected in July as UAE Team Emirates-XRG delivered its leader to a dominant stage and overall victory on the Plateau de Solaisons.<\/p>\n

Isaac Del Toro\u2019s confident victory was built on a team effort from the foot of the same finishing climb that will see the culmination of stage 15 of the Tour de France in five weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super happy about today,\u201d Del Toro began in his winner\u2019s interview. \u201cI did the recon some months ago \u2013 I didn\u2019t know until two days ago this was the same climb that we do [at the Tour], but it was nice to remember the recon with Tadej [Poga\u010dar], and super cool to have the victory with the team. It\u2019s just insane, we fight for it, and it\u2019s just crazy nice. I cannot believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
