ABU DHABI TOUR
Thursday, 8th – Saturday 10th October
The four-stage Professional Cycling Tour race will cover a total distance of 555km; three stages favour the sprinters, while the remaining stage (the 3rd), finishing uphill after a 750m climb with gradients touching 12%, will probably decide the General Classification.
It is a well-balanced race including the capital city’s skylines, the desert, the oases, a challenging climb featuring an excellent peak and average gradients (12/7.5%) – and a superb ending on the futuristic Yas Marina F1 circuit.
