🇲🇽Did you know that tortilla-makers in Mexico are being targeted by organized crime groups? Mary Beth Sheridan told me about her research in the state of Morelos. Violence in Morelos is at a historic high. Morelos is 3x as violent as Chicago. Criminals are focusing on extortion

🇲🇽Many tourists and foreign executives visiting Mexico City still believe the city of Cuernavaca and the state of Morelos are safe to visit. But, Morelos is now the 2nd most violent state in Mexico. 🤷‍♂️ There are more than a dozen organized crime groups in Morelos.

🇲🇽🚴🇮🇹 yesterday I attended Stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia, the Lucca-Pisa time trial. I spoke to Daniel Friebe on the The Cycling Podcast about current race leader Isaac Del Toro, a 21-year-old Mexican cyclist I met in 2021. My convo is @ 34:30. La chiacchierata podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

🇲🇽🚴📰And here is my recent article I wrote about Isaac Del Toro: forbes.com/sites/nathanie…

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️Mexican rider Isaac Del Toro has more week to go as the 21-year-old attempts to claim his first Grand Tour victory @ the Giro d'Italia. “Little by little,” Del Toro said. “I want to bring it (the pink jersey) home. apnews.com/article/giro-d…

🇲🇽👮"At least 4 people were involved in the killing of the personal secretary and a close adviser of Mexico City ’s Mayor Clara Brugada. More details emerged of the worst attack against public officials in the capital in recent years." apnews.com/article/mexico…

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️Mexico's Isaac Del Toro just barely held on to the race leader's pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia today. "I went w/ all my energy. I am giving 100% to win this jersey. In the next few days, I hope to be better,” he said afterwards. rouleur.cc/blogs/the-roul…

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️“I want to believe I am able to do it. Every time they attack and I have any gram of energy for sure I will try to be there fighting all the way to the line. I am realising and I believe that I can do it,” Mexico's Isaac Del Toro added.

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️Today was a key moment for Mexico's Isaac Del Toro. Rivals and fans were wondering after he faltered when following Ecuador's Richard Carapaz yesterday whether he'd crumble today. Instead he slept like a baby and woke up ready to win. rouleur.cc/blogs/the-roul…

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️"Del Toro has shown us that he is a cold-blooded, pure, aggressive bike rider throughout the final week of La Corsa Rosa. He has been down, but he has never been out, bouncing back after defeat and showing fearless ambition by attacking his rivals." rouleur.cc/blogs/the-roul…

🇲🇽🚴‍♂️🏆I traveled to Italy to watch Isaac Del Toro become the first Mexican cyclist ever to wear the race leader's "maglia rosa" pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia. He has continued to demonstrate incredible poise & power. Now we have to see if he can walk away with the jersey.
