GOOD MORNING FROM STAGE 4 OF THE UAE TOUR WOMEN 2025
Grand Finale in Abu Dhabi: a Sprint Stage or a breakaway surprise?
Noura Alobeidli – Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy Representative – gave the start to stage 4 of the UAE Tour Women 2025
Abu Dhabi Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy, 9 February 2025 – Good morning from Stage 4 of the third edition of the UAE Tour Women, the one and only UCI Women’s WorldTour race in the Middle East, organised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council and taking place from 6 to 9 February.
The race concludes with a flat stage starting and finishing in Abu Dhabi. Green Jersey leader Lorena Wiebes, winner of the first two stages, is the top favorite for a hat-trick. However, she’ll have to watch out for strong rivals like Charlotte Kool and Chiara Consonni, as well as potential long-range breakaways—just like last year when Amber Kraak outfoxed the sprinters.
The peloton, 111 riders strong, passed km 0 at 13.30. Did not start dossard n° 34 Chloe Dygert (CANYON//SRAM Zondacrypto).
