    Defending Tour of Dubai champion Marcel Kittel of Quick Step outsprinted the field to clinch a second stage win after a 188km ride from Dubai to Ras al-Khaimah on Wednesday.

    Having won Tuesday’s opening of five stages, the German – who has won nine Tour de France stages — edged fellow sprint specialists Dylan Groenewegen and Jakub Mareczko after the peloton comfortably closed down a plucky escape 11km from the line.

    Thursday’s third stage is also a flat run over 200km to Fujairah.
