The race: Here's the report from UAE Team Emirates.

20 year old talent Isaac Del Toro took the overall victory at the Vuelta Asturias in Spain today, on a dominant stage for UAE Team Emirates where Finn Fisher Black won the stage.

Del Toro was on leadout duties as the riders raced from Benia de Onís to Oviedo (140km), and left Fisher Black in prime position to take victory.

The win meant UAE Team Emirates took 3/3, winning every stage of the race – through Del Toro , Antonio Morgado and Finn Fisher Black.

Rafal Majka also steps on the second step of the podium.

Del Toro: “It was a really beautiful race where the team was really strong and did a great job. They worked so well that they made it a case of me being the one to finish it off. It’s a big deal for me as it’s my first GC win at this level and it means a lot. I was really happy to be able to help my teammates win stages also and celebrate these nice moments with them. They really deserved it. I’m really happy to get the win and I hope to continue this way for the next races.”

Stage 2 map & profile

Antonio Morgado wins stage two.

Weather at the finish city of Ribadesella at 1:40 PM, local time: 11C (51F), cloudy, with the wind from the west at 21 km/hr (13 mph). There is a 30% chance of rain. It was raining at the start.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Antonio Morgado's UAE Team Emirates.

A sprint in the rain gave Antonio Morgado his second victory as pro.
After the success obtained last Sunday in the Giro di Romagna, the Portuguese cyclist won stage 2 of the Vuelta Asturias, preceding Albert Torres (Movistar) and teammate Isaac Del Toro, who continues his leadership in the general classification.

The race, that started from Ribeira de Arriba and rolled for 200 km to Ribadesella on a course with one 2nd category climb and five 3rd category hills, the last one at 40 km to go, was controlled perfectly by UAE Team Emirates, that gave freedom to a five riders breakaway, before neutralizing that action at -20 km.
The solo attempt by Samuel Fernandez (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), was neutralised by the Emirati team, and set up the final sprint in which Antonio Morgado prevailed thanks to a powerful acceleration.

This is the 28th victory of the season for UAE Team Emirates, and tomorrow they will try to defend the leaders jersey of Isaac Del Toro in the final stage at Benia de Onis-Oviedo (140 km): the main opponent will be Josè Manuel Diaz (Burgos-BH), who’s 3rd at 1’09”, while in second place there’s Del Toro’s mate Rafal Majka.

Morgado: “The race was long and the day cold and with a lot of rain. The team trusted me and all my mates did a great performance in trying to give me the opportunity to win, so I tried to sprint exploiting a super good lead-out. I’m very happy”.
