The Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team rider suffered a crash today which took him several minutes to get back on the bike, after he reportedly crashed on his head and required a new helmet. His teammate Michael Morkov also crashed but escaped relatively unhurt.
Around 50 kilometers into the fourth stage at the UAE Tour Mark Cavendish appeared to struggle upon riding over a speed bump and loosing control of his bike, which consequently saw him crashing alongside his teammate. Although he had to be checked by race doctors, he got up and managed to finish the stage into Jebel Jais. This is the second crash of the season for the Briton has has also crashed in a crosswind section at the Tour of Oman.
With two sprint stages coming consecutively now, it is expected that Cavendish will be back to the head of the race as he seeks to achieve at least one more win until the end of the race, and will have full focus from his team to do so, as GC leader Fausto Masnada failed to stay with the peloton on today's stage.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
