BREAKING NEWS! 🌐 The first round of Top Riders who will take part in the UAE Tour . 👊 Who’s excited?! 🙋♂️ More announcements coming soon! #UAETour #WorldTour #Cycling #Race #UAE
This Sunday the UAE Tour will begin it's fourth edition and it will host, as every year, a very strong startlist full of climbers and sprinters looking for some of their first strong results of the year in what is the first World Tour competition of 2022. Below you will find the stage profiles.
As always, the UAE Tour will be a paradise for the pure sprinters who come to the Middle East in search of flat stages and the race always provides that opportunity. There are no short of four pan-flat stages with them being stage one, two, four and five.
In these days crosswinds can definitely affect the race, however with nothing as even a hilltop to cross, they should all end in sprints and provide plenty opportunities for the fast men to succeed, all of these stages are also around the 180-kilometer mark so they won't be overly long.
On the third day, likely before the GC fight begins, there will be a 9 kilometer long time-trial in Ajman, which will set some differences and some order into the mountains. Stage four will have a summit finish at Jebel Jais, 21.1 kilometers at 5.4% average gradient. A very shallow climb, but long. It's complicated to make differences in it, so by having this ascent first at the Tour it should see more moves.
The queen stage comes on the final day as the peloton heads to Jebel Hafeet, the race's most iconic climb. The stage is pan-flat but the final climb is sharp. Although only 10.9Km at 6.7%, the middle 7 kilometers are at 8% in wide exposed roads, which always make for explosive racing on the slopes.
Stage 1: Madinated Zayed - Madinat Zayed, 184.5Km
Stage 2: Al Hudayriat Island - Abu Dhabi Breakwater, 176.0Km
Stage 3: Ajman - Ajman, 9.0Km
Stage 4: Al Fujairah - Jebel Jais, 180.6Km
Stage 5: Ras al Khaimah - Al Marjan Island, 181.7Km

Stage 7: Al Ain - Jebel Hafeet, 148.1Km

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
