UAE Tour: Tadej Pogacar wins sprint atop Jebel Jais and takes over race lead

The UAE Team Emirates rider confirmed the expectations put on him by winning the UAE Tour's fourth stage atop Jebel Jais in a reduced bunch sprint, despite an attacked climb. Tadej Pogacar is also the new race leader.
Despite being the most mountainous day of the race, it was never a day where a breakaway could succeed as the terrain is favourable for a peloton to chase. Two riders braved up and made the break of the day with Jakob Egholm (Trek-Segafredo) and Luca Rastelli (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè) taking up the responsability, heading the race throughout most of the day until the bottom of the final climb.
With it's shallow gradients of 5-6% throughout most of the ascent, it would always be hard to create gaps. EF made the chase through the day and reeled the breakaway in, before UAE Team Emirates started to pace with George Bennett thinning down the group. Halfway up the climb Tadej Pogacar made a move, but to set up for an attack from his teammates as a flurry of moves set up, with Rafal Majka heading some, but all of them reeled back in by the work of INEOS' Luke Plapp who kept the peloton under control for Adam Yates and Filippo Ganna.

UAE lead out the sprint for Pogacar, with Luke Plapp and Ruben Guerreiro trying to surprise at the end, but when the Slovenian launched his sprint no-one could match. Adam Yates and Aleksandr Vlasov wrapped up the podium as a tiny split saw Ganna just barely missing out on the race lead.

- Cycling is dying. That's obvious. All you have to do is look at the huge hits the major bike component companies are taking year over year.

Now figure that it's a sponsor based sport instead of viewer based sport.Sweep18-12-2024
- As you probably won’t or can’t, here are some facts. WC viewing is less than 1/4 of the Vuelta which is BY FAR the least viewed of the 3 GTs. Yes the Vuelta has many stages so it works cumulatively but tgat counts for the WC too! Tvere are more WC races thsn there are stages at a GT. If you look at different countries’ national viewing figures, a popular WC race line the elite mens road race will just about reach the bottom rankings of the top 10 most viewed cycling events beaten by several monuments and classics, often national championships and ususlly by the more interesting stages of tours like Paris-Nice or the Critérium du DauphinéMistermaumau18-12-2024
