Tamaulipas Triathlon 2026: sport drives tourism in the south

A solid performance in the ninth stage

Isaac del Toro continues to add memorable chapters in the 2026 Tour de France. The Mexican cyclist, originally from Ensenada, Baja California, once again demonstrated his talent and endurance in the ninth stage, a demanding medium-mountain route.

He crossed the finish line in thirteenth place, just six seconds behind the Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel. His performance allowed him to retain third place in the general classification.

Youth leadership and first break

Del Toro also maintains the lead in the youth classification, which is why he continues to wear the white jersey, distinguishing the best competitor under 26 years of age.

The Tour enters its first day of rest. The Mexican will take advantage of this break to recover physically and adjust details with his team. The next stages will be decisive in the fight for the general classification, which is currently led by his teammate Tadej Pogacar.

The support of the Mexican fans has been constant throughout the journey. Del Toro is establishing himself as one of the great revelations of the international peloton.

English comeback in Miami

England secured their place in the semi-finals after beating Norway 2-1. The match, played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, was directed by Frenchman Clément Turpin. The English started losing but managed to come back with two goals from Jude Bellingham.

Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring in the 36th minute. The Benfica player sent a cross that was closed and surprised goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Norway took the lead in a moment of balance on the field.

However, in added time of the first half, Bellingham equalized. The Real Madrid midfielder defined with quality after an assist from Anthony Gordon, Barcelona forward. It was his fifth goal in the tournament.

In the second half, Norway thought they had made it 2-1, but the goal was disallowed due to a foul by Erling Haaland on a defender. The VAR intervened and Turpin invalidated the play after reviewing it on the monitor.

The game went to extra time. Already in extra time, Turpin awarded a penalty in favor of England, but after consulting the VAR, he reversed the decision. Shortly after, Bellingham scored his second goal, giving his team the victory.

England awaits an opponent for Wednesday’s semifinal in Atlanta. That ticket will come from the duel between Argentina, current champion, and Switzerland, which closed the quarterfinals in Kansas City. Norway, which reached the quarterfinals for the first time, was eliminated after a match where it dominated in several passages but failed to achieve.

Mexico once again demonstrated its competitiveness in world archery. In the World Cup in Madrid, the national delegation added two silver medals.

Ximena Estrada and Miguel Becerra reached the mixed team final of compound bow. They faced the British Ajay Scott and Ella Gibson in a close duel. In the end, the Mexicans were left with the silver medal.

The tricolor performance confirms the good moment of this discipline in the country. The last stage of the World Archery circuit once again had an Aztec presence on the podium.

Mexico continues to position itself among the bow and arrow powers on a global level. The performance in Madrid is a reflection of the constant work of the athletes and their coaches.
