The UAE Tour is one of the races with the least technical roads in the calendar but it has been seeing countless riders coming down and abandoning. Injuries aplenty for INEOS Grenadiers as Carlos Rodríguez also suffered a fractured collarbone following one of the previous crashes; and already during the stage there was another mass crash leading to several riders leaving the race including none other than Chris Froome.
Carlos Rodríguez and Matteo Malucelli both did not start the stage and that is exactly because both are carrying injuries from the several mass crashes that have already happened in this race. During the stage, with 167 kilometers to go, Chris Froome was part of a crash that involved several riders on a flat road with a divider that was seemingly the cause for the incident.
Froome pulled out of the race and has since been taken to the hospital for observations and diagnosis of a possible injury. Tudor sprinter Arvid de Kleijn, under-23 World Champion Niklas Behrens and Torstein Traeen have also had to abandon the race.

- When I see the articles and favours done for Tudor and Q36.5 I winder if it’s not more advantageous to be relegated 😏Jumpyjohn15-05-2025
- He completely got off scott free. Celebrities always get a lot of leniency in term of punishment. Hunter Biden also got off. Jared Kushner's dad got pardoned. Bill Cosby walked free. A normal person would be languishing in jail.abstractengineer15-05-2025
- This article shows a lot of what’s wrong in today’s communication « capitalism » Using one rider in a title to introduce a story about another, using media to influence deal-making, trying to create attention pre-results, etc. Just go get your podium and THEN use your platform.Jumpyjohn15-05-2025
- According to the disgraced GT champion himself, Lance Armstrong, the Grand Tours are where you'll see the strongest athletes in all of sports. These riders do a 250 km race today, and another 200km race tomorrow, followed by a 30km time trial, then capped off with a mountain stage with 4000m elevation gain.. and that is only for the first week. I guess that's why doping became part of the sport, because of the extreme pressure these riders go through in a 21-day race. Talk about endurance, that's what it's all about. Sagan may be fast, and Cavendish, and Pedersen and Wout and MVDP,, but they can hardly finish a grand tour.FredMan15-05-2025

- Like I said, if you want personal opinion, they're a dime a dozen. It is up to the respondent to make sense of what's being asked, IMO. Oh btw, Romingen is great but he's not a Dane.. he's Swiss.FredMan15-05-2025
- All the best for '27 🙏😎

- Mads Pedersen is an absolute beast. He really didn't look like he'd make it up that last climb, but he dug very deep, and was there when it mattered in the end. Three stage wins in the first five stages is very impressive indeed.
