PREVIEW | Saudi Tour 2023 stage 1 - Groenewegen and Ackermann headline opening day for the sprinters

Throughout five days the peloton will race in Saudi Arabia, for the Saudi Tour. Stage 1 of the race will be a good match for the sprinters and it is expected to see a battle between the likes of Dylan Groenewegen, Pascal Ackermann, Cees Bol and many other fast men.

The opening stage of the race will start in AlUla, a name now well known within pro cycling as they are the new title sponsor of Australian Team Jayco AlUla. It's a flat stage that is close to a complete straight line, set to finish in Khayber where the final kilometers have some small gradients which could make things a bit tougher for the fast men.

Stage 1: AlUla International Airport - Khayber, 180.5 kilometers
