2/23 Stage 3 STRATA STAGE|Al Ain Strata Manufacturing –  Jebel Hafeet

|166 公里|登山站

第三站再轉回 GC 公路賽場,終點就設在 Hafeet 山頂,分別於 28.6 公里 Al Qattara、152.5 公里 Green Mubazzarah 兩處設有衝刺點。氣溫依舊在 28 度左右,風速18km/hr,山頂風勢預計更大,終點前 10.8 公里是硬陡山路,爬升 928 公尺,平均坡度 5.4 %,最陡路段有近 11%,大部分路段坡度都在 8%左右。

相較昨日終點前摔車的 Antonio Tiberi (Trek – Segafredo) 因為傷勢過深,確定今日沒有出賽無法出賽的悲情,Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) 則是盡情在自家主場大放異彩,拿下單站冠軍紅衫之外,總積分綠衫、最佳青年車手白衫也一併穿上。

Lotto Soudal 的 Thomas De Gendt 和 AG2R Citroën Team 的 Tony Gallopin 開賽後率先脫逃,在大漠中狂奔領騎,一度和主集團拉出 6 分鐘的差距。166 公里漫漫長路,最後還有 Jebel Hafeet 一座山要爬,後方阿聯酋航空率領的集團不疾不徐的前進,進入山區之前就把兔子都給追回集團。

Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadiers) 隨即跟上,Pogačar  急起直追,Yates 試圖甩開緊咬在後的 Pogačar,不過能夠拿下 2020 環法賽冠軍的他當然不是省油的燈,身為地主的 Pogačar 熟悉路線,把握終點前 500 公尺的短暫下坡超過 Yates,拼進終點拿下紅衫,一舉把 GC 時間差距擴大至 43 秒。
