The UAE Tour


This event has ended.

The third stage of the UAE Tour commences on Al Marjan Island on 21 February, concluding with an epic hill climb atop Jebel Jais.

The UAE Tour will feature four sprinters’ stages, two mountain stages best suited to the peloton’s climbers, and a 12.1 km long, high-speed individual time trial.

From 19 to 25 February, the UAE Tour will feature over 980 km of racing across the seven stages. Four of them will be perfect opportunities for the sprinters who will have plenty of chances to fight for a prestigious win. Stage two will be a team time trial, and stages three and seven (the final day) will have summit finishes in the traditional climbs of Jebel Jais, where previous stage winners include Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard, and Jebel Hafeet, an epic climb that has seen three stage victories for Tadej Pogačar in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
