UAE have four cards today: Gaviria, Kristoff, Ulissi and Costa.

Especially Ulissi should be strong on such a climb if he gets his own chance. He looked good yesterday.

He'll need different skills today. Costa has no chance today, Kristoff is too heavy I think, they will go all-in for Gaviria.

Kristoff was 4th on Hatta Dam last year.

Yeah, but someone has to lead out cause positioning is crucial, Kristoff or Gaviria. If they're both protected they won't win. I would go with Gaviria in this one

Bahrain trying to split the peloton unsuccessfully so far. Seems to be crosswinds again!

Also they'll now turn east so they'll mostly have a tailwind now, pretty easy for the peloton.

This is frustrating to watch. The highway is being bamboozled with sand because of the wind, but they refuse to form echelons.

Some have formed now though I would say
