The opening stage of the UAE Tour saw a calm day as the peloton roamed through the desert
The breakaway never had much of a chance, as will be the case throughout the whole week, nevertheless the wildcard teams made their presence felt by both placing two riders in front, Gazprom - Rusvelo with Pavel Kochetkov and Dmitry Strakhov, Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè with Luca Rastelli and Alessandro Tonelli, and Lotto Soudal's Xandres Vervloesem. The group were caught with 19 kilometers to go as the peloton surfed through the final 60 kilometers that were all done in a straight line.
