Dubai Tour 2016: Favourites

Dubai Tour is tailor made for fast men. Edition 2016 features three flat stages, while one stage leads to an uphill finish. Time bonuses are expected to be decisive for the overall win. Cyclingstage.com brings you the GC-favourites in the 2016 Dubai Tour. (Slideshow route/profile)

Every stage brings time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds at the finish line, while seconds are to be gained at intermediate sprints also. Last year it was Mark Cavendish winning the overall thanks to his supremacy in the bunch sprints. Yes, he lost time at the only uphill finish, but made up for it at the finish line.

*** Mark Cavendish, Philippe Gilber
