UAE Tour 2026, February 16-22

[Berniece]

If there’s more wind in the afternoon tomorrow he might lose more than the 10s he gained now

 

[carolina]

All that work from Ineos and then nothing happened...

 

[Samamba]

3km rule counts right?

 

[KoopaCycling]

well del toro just showed why he is a favourite

 

[Samamba]

If there’s more wind in the afternoon he might lose more than the 10s he gained now

It will be maybe about 10s, but it's worth it. Win is a win

And there isn't a lot of wind expected.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

brilliant. there is 2 of them now. and both on the same team. not even pog could win this stage. *** off.

 

[Squire]

Isaac Del Gaviria

 

[Berniece]

3km rule counts right?

Yes

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Big crash and a UAE win, what an awesome start to the race.

 

[Rou]

Del Toro better puncheur than Pog?
This was impressive.

 

[Samamba]

well del toro just showed why he is a favourite

This has nothing to do with performing on a 45min climb.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Del Toro better puncheur than Pog?
This was impressive.

The field is way worse than last year for sprints of any variety, especially factoring in the Milan crash.

 

[kingjr]

If there’s more wind in the afternoon tomorrow he might lose more than the 10s he gained now

He'll gain everything he needs on Jebel Mobrah

 

[houtdffan]

what was Remco doing?

He sound asleep or something?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Del Toro looks more explosive than Pogacar

 

[Rou]

The field is way worse than last year, especially factoring in the Milan crash.

Yeah, I just saw that Tiberi was third.
Disregard my comment.

 

[Landeirovic]

If there’s more wind in the afternoon tomorrow he might lose more than the 10s he gained now

Del Toro is good in the wind

 

[Tim Cahill]

Del Toro is faster than Pogacar on a sprint-ish finish like this, it’s his climbing that’s in question

 

[KoopaCycling]

This has nothing to do with performing on a 45min climb.

Sure, lets pretend Del Toro isn't in a good shape..

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bol, Tiberi, Malucelli and Romele completing the top-5 of an uphill sprint. Evidently the time that oil money could buy great fields is over...

 

[Samamba]

Actually pretty strong from Maluccelli on this finish

 

[pastronef]

Storer crashed but he looked fine, fingers crossed

 

[Samamba]

Sure, lets pretend Del Toro isn't in a good shape..

Yeah cause that's definitely what I said

 

[Rou]

Sure, lets pretend Del Toro isn't in a good shape..

Del Toro is not some demigod climber.
Sure, the unipuerto stages will help but I see Evenepoel out climbing him.

 

[Netserk]

how on earth did milan not have a teammate in front of him in the roundabout
