Preview stage 5. The AlUla Tour has become Saudi Arabia's premier race and will host an array of World Tour teams in the desert over the season's start. It will take place in the hot weather from the 30th of January to the 3rd of February.
The final day of the race is the queen stage. Most of the stage takes place in flat and exposed roads which have influenced the GC in the past and may again. The riders will ride towards a 2.8-kilometer climb at 12.5%, a proper wall. It is a brutal climb under such conditions, gaps will be created with certainty and the GC may be decided there. It's summit lays 8.5 kilometers away from the stage finish however and so a lot can still happen in that period.
