VIDEO: Dramatic 4-way sprint to the line on stage 5 decides overall victory of the AlUla Tour
Cycling
The 2024 edition of the AlUla Tour had drama all the way to the very last pedal stroke in Saudi Arabia. In the end, a four-man sprint to the line decided not only who took home the stage 5 win but also overall victory.
Simon Yates, William Junior Lecerf and UAE Team Emirates duo Finn Fisher-Black and Rafal Majka entered the final kilometre locked together. With just a single second separating the first three mentioned, whoever finished first out of Yates, Lecerf and Fisher-Black would take the general classification win.
In the end, Yates prevailed by the barest of margins. Check out the dramatic conclusion down below!

- "was a headliner at the Tour de France" Nobody cared about Piddie. Only rivals that were there for Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Sexias, Lipo, Del Toro and they were all expected to lose. Piddie was not even in any conversation.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- exactly, he had an amazing season, but with these overstatements they don‘t do him good.Ketterechts08-11-2026

- I know, their headlines can be so misleading. Pidcock had a great season with 5 wins. and some solid 2nds. no reason to take away from that with a fake headline.mij08-11-2026
- You can clearly see the the posture change from slightly sitting to again out of the saddle while changing of gears in the video of the sprintabstractengineer08-11-2026
- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
