**Del Toro Makes History as First Mexican to Lead Giro d’Italia, Van Aert Triumphs in Dusty Stage**
In a stunning turn of events that has left the cycling world both baffled and mildly amused, Juan “El Toro” Del Toro has made history as the first Mexican to lead the Giro d’Italia. The 27-year-old cyclist, who previously gained fame for his ability to eat tacos while riding, has now taken the cycling world by storm, proving that you can indeed pedal and munch simultaneously.
“I always knew I was destined for greatness,” Del Toro said while balancing a burrito on his handlebars. “I just didn’t think it would involve so much dust and so little salsa.”
Meanwhile, in a dusty stage that could only be described as “a sandstorm with a side of spaghetti,” Wout Van Aert triumphed, leaving competitors choking on the fine Italian dust. “I thought I was racing in a pasta factory,” Van Aert quipped, wiping his brow with a spaghetti noodle. “But hey, at least I got my carbs in!”
As Del Toro took the lead, fans were quick to point out that his secret weapon was not just his cycling skills but also his ability to charm the local wildlife. “I saw him negotiating with a group of pigeons for a better route,” said fellow cyclist Marco “The Pasta Machine” Rossi. “I think they were in cahoots!”
In a post-race interview, Del Toro revealed his training regimen, which includes riding uphill while carrying a piñata. “It’s all about balance,” he explained. “And if I drop it, well, that’s just more candy for the spectators!”
As the Giro d’Italia continues, one thing is clear: whether it’s dust, tacos, or pigeons, this year’s race is shaping up to be a wild ride. And if Del Toro keeps leading, we might just see a taco stand at the finish line. After all, who wouldn’t want to celebrate a victory with a side of guacamole?
