The Mexican National Champion, Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) had a mechanical and both of his team cars didn't see him on the side of the road. Once they realized he was stuck, one of the mechanics got onto his spare bike and rode back down the road to find him. As of this writing, I don't know if the mechanic, the team, or Del Toro, was fined for going backwards on the racecourse. I do apologize for getting the flag of Mexico backwards, I only realized my mistake later in the stage (yes, more Del Toro paintings are coming). He was forced to do a rather scary chase back through the team car caravan on his way back to the peloton. You will discover in later paintings whether or not the chase took the fire out of his legs for the finale.The Mexican National Champion, Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) had a mechanical and both of his team cars didn't see him on the side of the road.
