Along the way, teammate Rafa Majka rode with consistency to land himself third overall come the end of the race in Feldkirch.
Showing his own strength on home roads, Groschartner ably supported Del Toro and finished the race in 10th position on general classification. With the overall victory included, UAE Team Emirates-XRG conclude five days of racing in Austria with five wins, retaining the title that the Emirati outfit also won in 2024.
Taking control of the peloton from start to finish, Del Toro was thankful to his teammates after the finish, with Filippo Baroncini, Alessandro Covi, and Julius Johansen all making important contributions throughout the week.
