HAMBURG, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM – 16th Aug, 2026) Mexican cyclist Isaac Del Toro will lead UAE Team Emirates XRG at the 29th edition of the Bemer Cyclassics in Hamburg on Sunday, returning to action three weeks after securing a third-place finish at the Tour de France.
Del Toro makes his second consecutive appearance at the one-day UCI WorldTour race alongside a strong UAE Team Emirates XRG line-up featuring Filippo Baroncini, Mikkel Bjerg, Benoît Cosnefroy, Rune Herregodts, António Morgado and Florian Vermeersch, directed by sports Director Andrej Hauptman.
The 205.2-kilometre classic begins in Buxtehude and traverses Lower Saxony before returning to Hamburg, where riders face five ascents of the 700-metre Waseberg climb, which features a steep average gradient of 9.1 percent.
UAE Team Emirates is targeting its first podium finish at the event since 2018, when Alexander Kristoff took third, following Morgado’s seventh-place finish in last year’s edition.
