Einer Rubio won the Jebel Jais stage in the UAE Tour 2023 and the Colombian rider of Movistar Team hopes to repeat his victory on the same summit in the third stage of the 2024 edition.
Rubio, who comes to this UAE Tour much more experienced after having also won in the Giro d'Italia, confessed before leaving for the 21 kilometers and an average of 5% that the key is to take into account the wind and a good race strategy to try to win again with such tough rivals as Adam Yates or Pello Bilbao:

"I think I remember it very well, it was a day later, we will try to repeat it today, let's see how we do. It's quite a long climb and quite fast above all. We will have some windy sections and we will have to read the race and see if we can take advantage of it. It's the same as last year, we remember the course very well and it's something we have to take advantage of".
Although the climb can be important for the overall classification, under such gradients the main climbers should be relatively balanced. Yesterday's time-trial created important differences with Brandon McNulty taking over the race lead, and at Jebel Hafeet we should have the most important day of the race.

- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

- Pick better parents and/or better doping agents.
ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
