Opening the professional calendar in the Middle East this year we have got the Saudi Tour. On the road from the 1st to 5th of February it is the first of a series of stage-races set to take place in the region culminating with the UAE Tour later on in February. Despite atracting a small peloton, it is one that includes some big names, who are looking to start off their season in warm weather and calm roads which they will find here.
The race will have two hilly stages which should decide the GC, one of them being a hilltop finish, and three stages suited to the sprinters which have atracted the biggest names in the startlist.
