A total of 210 cyclists have been approved for the opening time trial stage which features a fast course perfect for the sprinters. Starting at The Pointe on Palm Jumeirah, the riders will continue towards Al Qudra and finish at Silicon Oasis. In last year’s race, there were four sprint finishes. No rider managed a double win, with Fernando Gaviria, Caleb Ewan, Elia Viviani and Sam Bennett clinching one stage victory each. It’s ridden on wide, well-paved roads, with the potential for sand in windy conditions.
