Koersverloop
In a lively opening, Alexey Lutsenko opens up a small gap. The action continues, spiced up by echelon action, until a group forms, with Joshua Tarling, Pello Bilbao, Iván Romeo, Pablo Castrillo, Oscar Onley, Giulio Ciccone, and Tadej Pogacar as the stand-out names.

They tackle Jebel Hafeet 3 minutes ahead of the second group.

Pogacar accelerates with 8 kilometres to go. Onley, Ciccone, and Finn Fisher-Black follow… well, they try - when the Slovenian pushes on, he is alone.
