Saturday, February 10: 5th and final stage, Dubai - City Walk, 132 km

Elia Viviani wins the final stage and the final GC.

The race: Here's the organizer's concluding post.

Dubai, 10 February 2018 – Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) has won the fifth edition of the Dubai Tour, crossing the finish line first in the Dubai City Walk in a bunch sprint, after 132km of racing. On the podium he received the Circle of Stars, the winner’s trophy, from H.H. Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Second classified was the Dane Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana Pro Team), with Italian Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida) third placed on General Classification.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner of the Dubai Tour, Elia Viviani said: “It’s amazing. This morning I was very stressed but I tried to look relaxed. Two seconds lead meant all or nothing. But we rode well as a team. The ideal situation for us was a breakaway without anyone involved in the top of the overall ranking. I had six teammates leading me out in the last corner. We missed the crash by very little. [Fabio] Sabatini closed the gap on the four guys ahead after the crash. With 50 meters to go I understood I could win the stage. With the headwind, it would have been dangerous to launch from too far out.
“To win GC here is an important step up. I want to be one of the best sprinters in the world. This is a good start towards this goal with the great team I have now.”

Friday, February 9: Stage 4, Dubai - Hatta Dam, 172 km

The stage is Sonny Colbrelli's

The race: Here's the organizer's stage 4 report.

Hatta, 9 February 2018 – Italy’s Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida) won Stage 4 of the 2018 Dubai Tour, from Skydive Dubai to Hatta Dam (172km). Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors), 6th on the finish line, successfully defended the race leader’s Blue Jersey, sponsored by the Commercial Bank of Dubai, and also wears the points leader’s Red Jersey, sponsored by Emirates.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Sonny Colbrelli said: “I really wanted to win today because the team has been working for me since day one. I was close yesterday. Today, again, Bahrain-Merida has done a great job. I launched the sprint from very far out because I had a mechanical and I was stuck on the 53. I couldn’t wait for this race to end. The last 50 metres looked to me like an infinity. This victory means a lot for my team and is very important for my morale. Even without being the favorites, we raced as a team like leaders.”

The Blue Jersey, Elia Viviani said: “The race isn’t over yet. Two seconds advantage over Cort Nielsen isn’t much, considering how strong he is… but we have a strong team. It was the case again to close the gap on the breakaway riders. I’m happy with the result because the goal was to defend the Blue Jjersey. I think I couldn’t do more than this. When Colbrelli went, I thought my legs were dying. I just have to do my best sprint tomorrow to win the Dubai Tour and possibly another stage.”

Thursday, February 8: Stage 3, Dubai - Fujairah, 180 km

Mark Cavendish wins stage three

The race: Here's the organizer's update:

Fujairah, 8 February 2018 – The British rider Mark Cavendish (Team Dimension Data) won Stage 3 of the 2018 Dubai Tour, from Skydive Dubai to Corniche RD Fujairah (180km), in a bunch sprint finish, beating Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis, Solutions Credits) to the finish line with Marcel Kittel (Team Katusha Alpecin) taking third.

Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) is the new race leader, wearing the General Classification’s Blue Jersey, sponsored by the Commercial Bank of Dubai. Dylan Groenewegen (Team Lotto NL – Jumbo) received a 20″ penalty from the jury in the General Classification after the finish line. He still wears the points leader’s Red Jersey, sponsored by Emirates.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner Mark Cavendish said: “I had a good feeling today, especially after yesterday. I knew I was there. I knew the team was there. I can’t beat Viviani in a track sprint race so I had to wait, wait and wait, and use my jump. Any time of the year, it’s important to win. It’s good for my account. Already with this win, I’ve won the same amount of races I won in the whole season last year. The thing I’m disappointed about is that yesterday, when I realized I couldn’t win, had I kept going, I would have come second and be in the lead now. It’s my own fault. But I’ll try and get the blue jersey in the next two days.”

Wednesday, February 7: Stage 2, Dubai - Ras Al Kaimah, 180 km

Elia Viviani wins the second Dubai Tour stage

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Ras Al Khaimah, 7 February 2018 – The Italian rider Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) won Stage 2 of the 2018 Dubai Tour, from Skydive Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah (190km), in a bunch sprint. On the finish line he beat Dylan Groenewegen (Team Lotto NL – Jumbo), who remains in the lead of the overall General Classification. Third classified was Riccardo Minali (Astana Pro Team).

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner Elia Viviani said: “Having my birthday today added to my motivation. Losing yesterday was also good for my head. Overnight we felt like we missed one chance that would never be given back. I feel I’m in good condition and have the legs for winning. I had a mechanical but luckily it was with 20km to go and I had time to come back. With 500m to go, my lead out man Fabio Sabatini closed the gap. I chose Kristoff’s wheel. I saw Groenewegen coming back with 50 meters but finally the line was in the right place for me to win. I’m pretty happy.”

The Blue Jersey, Dylan Groenewegen said: “It’s very hard to come only second today after winning yesterday. I had mechanical problems with my first bike, and also with the second 1.5km before the finish. That’s how I lost my sprint train and I came very late to the front for sprinting. The only good point for today is that I’m still in the lead of the overall classification but I wanted to win the stage.”

Tuesday, February 6: Stage 1, Dubai - Palm Jumeirah, 167 km

Dylan Groenwegen wins the first stage.

The race: Here's the report from winner Dylan Groenewegen's LottoNL-Jumbo team.

Dylan Groenewegen has won the first stage of the Tour of Dubai. The 24-year-old Dutchman was the fastest of the sprint elite in the bunch sprint on Palm Jumeirah. It marked Team LottoNL-Jumbo’s second win of 2018. With his win in Dubai, Groenewegen added number twenty to his tally of victories in the Team LottoNL-Jumbo jersey.

Like his new teammate Danny van Poppel in Valencia, Groenewegen was the best in his first race of this season. And like Van Poppel in January, the Team LottoNL Jumbo rider came from far to push the wheel of his Bianchi Oltre XR4 over the finish line first. This was preceded by a hectic phase, but Groenewegen was strongly supported by his team.

The sprinter was full of praise about his teammates. "They have done a really good job and I owe them many thanks. It was pushy, but I had a good lead-out."

With his teammates Amund Grondahl Jansen and Timo Roosen accompanying him during his last metres to the finish line, Groenewegen squeezed through the bunch. "With two hundred meters to go I had to give it my all, but I won. It was great to beat all the top sprinters here. That felt very good", a delighted Dylan Groenewegen said.

Due to his win in the first stage, Groenewegen leads the general classification, the points classification and the youth classification. He will start in the blue leader's jersey tomorrow.
