UAE Tour 2025 stage 5 GC Update - Serious changes as INEOS and Movistar riders crash in hellish finale

Friday, 21 February 2025 at 15:10

Stage 5 of the UAE Tour seemed to be a day with little to expect in terms of GC, but it was absolutely not the case. Tadej Pogacar and Lennert van Eetvelt joined the day's breakaway and gained 3 seconds each, whilst a mass crash with just over 3 kilometers to go caused several podium contenders to lose time.

The fall inside the final kilometer made no difference to those affected, but the first of the big falls did. Felix Gall, Carlos Rodríguez, Paul Seixas, Pablo Castrillo and Victor Langellotti have all gone down and lost important time in a race with little chances to recover it.
