There was double Delight for saon veren scald yesterday as he stormed to the stage win and snatched the overall lead of the alula tour the Norwegian will be looking to keep hold of the green jersey today on another Sprint day to the alula camel cup track a rather unusual finish

But they will at least be staying on tarmak instead of trying to plow through the sand we didn’t get so much time to celebrate because we tried to focus on today but of course it was a was a good vibe in the team and uh yeah it was

Really good to just um yeah just a big relief we can just relax a little bit more even though we have to try again today so I think it’s good for the morale in the team and uh yeah it’s nice things haven’t gone dlan hunov vegan’s way so far but despite some

Struggles with illness yesterday he is still hopeful of getting a win for JA alula yeah I throw up a few times so I don’t know maybe I eat something wrong or I don’t know but U yeah had a really good night 11 hour sleep so um yeah I feel a

Bit better today a bit empty but um yeah we give it all and then we see do the we already had a surprise on day one with Casper Van Udin taking Victory and as Aid decline points out the weather Gods could get involved in today’s action

I think we will see echelons today I’m pretty sure yeah so it will be a heart race today hectic and uh yeah we will see uh how many guys will make it to the final 17.5 km on the menu in this third stage heading from the alula International Airport to the camel cup

Track the finishing circuit is 7 km long and there’ll be a bonus Sprint as they cross the line for the first time with much cooler conditions and more wind forecast there’s also a good chance of echelons in the final and like the cin said it’ll be interesting to see just

How many fast men end up contesting the Sprints go there was crosswind chaos from the off today and Rafael Micah was one of the chief victims the pole finding himself a long way back in a small Chase group a bit further up the road was a second pelan containing the Norwegian

Champion Frederick deases and the Race’s most active Rider at Sushi Oka in the orange Jersey Brian ccka one of the day’s Sprint contenders was also in there with a teammate and so too was Michael zard Arvid dein’s lead out man the pace was so high in fact that

The Breakaway was caught by the main pelan with 76 km still to ride lisis anel matate polychronis Tau sakis and Yuma Kishi were probably expecting to have a bit longer out at the front but several teams were clearly Keen to put the hammer down including mistar barin Victorious and sudal

Quickstep the speed oscillating between 60 and 70 km an hour however with the wind dropping after a change in Direction and not too many major players caught behind the pelan decided to call a truce that brief lull encouraged toor Takis to go back on the attack and after

A few minutes he was joined Again by matate it didn’t take too long for the second pelan to catch up so the race settled back down into a familiar pattern tzakis and matate soon had a lead of over 2 minutes there wasn’t too much to report

Over the next 30 km or so although it was interesting to note The increased urgency in the peltin every time they approach the corner DSM trying to up The Temper before this right-hander putting around 30 seconds into the two Breakaway Riders but no splits this time Around the next key point was another right-hander with 30k remaining and the big guns were ready to strike and now they’ll start to Fire and Jak alula with the team including Simon Yates are starting to put the hurt on already and the echelons are starting and Riders are sprinting for all they

Are worth just to try and stay in this alula tour this is the action you want at the beginning of the season this is what desert racing is all about those attacks blowing the race to pieces and the main man to be caught out was the race leader saon venal

Apparently with a terribly timed mechanical the Norwegian swap bikes with the teammate but he wasn’t happy and eventually had to stop for a bike change he wouldn’t be getting back to the front and he wouldn’t be keeping that green jersey the front pelan of around 40 Riders continuing to charge their way

Towards the camel cup track Baron SC had gone and so too had Dylan groven but there was still plenty of fast men up there including van Udan deine Juan Sebastian Milano and Tim Malia a couple of the chudo Riders tried to go clear on the final circuit as did

Matias norgard of mistar but to no avail the surviving sprinters would battle it out for victory vanen opens it up very very early going for the sprins Luca met gets trying to give a victory for Jo alula but it’s Tim Malia Malia going all the way to the line Malia celebrates makes

It look very very easy absolutely smokes it Tim merer wins for the team of suda Quick Step nice and easy does the trick former Belgian Champion Tim malier taking his first win of the season in some style Mal has been doing quite a bit of cyclocross this winter to tune up his

Form and it seems to have paid off the 31-year-old looks Supreme as he won comfortably ahead of Decline and Van Udan this is his 35th career Victory it was a quite a special finish because also with the wind open parts and uh uh slightly uphill uh so

Uh yeah everything must be uh must be right in the Sprint and uh I’m happy uh I did the right things today I believe it’s it’s the birthday of your son so that’s also a nice gift for him yes yes I was a really motivated day didn’t want

To make a mistake today and I’m happy can give the victory for my son first birthday M beating the Dutch pair of decline in van uden with hovan’s lead out man Luca mget taking a creditable fourth place Milano rounded out the top five vanin recovers the race lead that he

Held after winning stage one the young Dutchman is two seconds ahead of malier with Mato saero up to third after taking another three seconds at the late bonus Sprint van uden is also on top again in the points classification with 30 Malia sneaks ahead of varen scold into
