Stage 5: AlUla Old town - AlUla Old Town 138.9 km
Flat finish. Can QuickStep find some wind to challenge Lotto for the overall win?
Sheikh of the Day: Caleb Ewan
Fastest.
Stage 4: Winter Park - Skyviews of Harrat Uwayrid 149.3 km
The serious GC decider. Short but steep with a couple of kms att 12% apparently.
Sheikh of the Day: Andrea Bagioli
He was everyone’s favorite before he crashed on stage one and since he looked ok on st 2 he should be a contender for the stage now.
Stage 3: Tayma Hadaj Well - Al Ula Old Town 181.2 km
Sprinty time again.
Sheikh of the Day: Caleb Ewan
No one looked close to competing on stage 1.
Stage 2: Taibah University - Abu Rakah 163.9 km
Punchier finish today with a final kilometer and a half at about 7.5%.
Sheikh of the Day: Lennard Kämna
Not a whole lot of specialists for this type of finish here. So.... wild guess.
Stage 1: Winter Park - Winter Park 198 km
Back to the desert we go for early season racing. The Saudi Tour was just getting started when Corona came along so after a years hiatus it’s time to try and build up steam again.
Sheikh of the Day: Caleb Ewan
This race is going to be a heavyweight-ish sprinters showdown. Phil Bauhaus had a grand old time in 2020 but the competition looks tougher this time. Ewan has Groenewegen, Gaviria and a bunch of other solid sprinters to contend with.
