the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick Step), the new leader of the UAE Tour, considered “a good reward” for wearing the red jerseyalthough he could not take the stage in Jebel Jais, matching the Colombian from Movistar Einer Rubio.
“It’s a shame we were so close to winning the stage because I did a good sprint at the end, but the red jersey is a great reward for the team”, said the world champion at the finish line.
According to the rainbow jersey, the team was well balanced in the three contested stages, although the day was not ideal in the mountains at Jebel Jais.
“We had bad luck on the climb with some late colleagues, so we couldn’t execute the plans like we wanted and catch Einer Rubio, but my team is very strong now. Two wins and the red jersey in three stages is pretty good, and it will be a great birthday present for Einer.”
