Mexico’s new national governing body for bike racing hopes to capitalise on its star rider’s growing fame and revive the country’s premier stage race.<\/p>\n

Since Isaac del Toro burst onto the world stage by winning the Tour de l\u2019Avenir in 2023, cycling in Mexico has gone stratospheric. Now, the country looks set to bring about the return of the historic Vuelta a Mexico, and ambitions are high.<\/p>\n

The Vuelta a Mexico first took place in 1948 and previous winners include Laurent Fignon, Oscar Sevilla and Mexican superstar Ra\u00fal Alcal\u00e1. Mexican national stage races have taken place under several guises over the decades and was most recently run as the Vuelta Mexico Telmex when it last took place in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Vuelta a Mexico is set to return in an early-season spot \u2013 most likely January \u2013 with organisers hoping to see the race credited with the highest UCI rating possible in a bid to encourage Isaac del Toro<\/a> and his UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad to participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The plans are being brought forward by the brand-new Mexican cycling federation, the Union Ciclista de Mexico, which replaced the previous federation after it had been suspended by the UCI due to gross misconduct in 2021. The Union Ciclista de Mexico took over responsibility for the development of cycling in Mexico at the 2025 UCI Congress in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
