UAE Tour: Stefan Bissegger flies into the lead time-trial win on stage three
CyclingTuesday, 22 February 2022 at 13:54
The Swiss rider from EF Education-EasyPost took a dominant win in the UAE Tour's sole individual time-trial in impressive fashion. Stefan Bissegger won the stage three time-trial beating world champion Filippo Ganna by seven seconds and is the new race leader.
The fast nine kilometer time-trial had a tail and a headwind section which has caused a bit of a stir in the stage results. Mikkel Bjerg set the early strong time of 10:07 and was thought to be the time to beat for the main favourites, and early on Bissegger put on a tremendous performance removing 24 seconds off the Danish specialist. The time was hard to beat, however there were more candidates yet to start like the world champion Filippo Ganna.

When Ganna flew over the finish line however the clock had him at 9:50, seven seconds slower than the Swiss who has taken his first stage win of the season, with the likes of Tom Dumoulin (who finished third), Pogacar and Almeida crossing in the top places aswell.
Tomorrow Bissegger sets off for the first summit finish of the race at Jebel Jais with a lead of seven seconds over Filippo Ganna but he isn't expected to keep the lead. Tom Dumoulin was the first of the GC contenders to arrive 14 seconds down on Bissegger and he's won 4 seconds on Tadej Pogacar, 8 on João Almeida, 11 on Aleksandr Vlasov and 15 on Adam Yates.
