Adam Yates the specialist in the Middle East toying with his food on the famous jabal alakar Green Mountain climb the stage was shortened it’s it’s an easy stage anyway but it was modified 72 km long this is the profile last year you can see it’s just a uni Puerto walk up

Watts per kilo smashfest up a 5.7 km long wall that was the stage where Jorgenson did his climbing performance of his career up to that point and then showed it later on in parrying East but van seon actually beat him to win the stage but jensson held on for GC so

Vanon also here in this race they set the record last year 1812 on Green Mountain they went really really fast and Finn Fisher black was in the leaders jersey but he’s got Adam Yates on his team so Yates is you know you’ve seen him on jabel feet year in year out in

The UAE tour which is on next week he’s very very good in these sort of efforts breakway went with Hub Arts as the best Rider in that break where the Anar Rider UAE as I said leading the uh the race at this point so they rode to chase the

Break with a couple of their Dev team Riders who are here in the team you can do that with uh races that aren’t World T level you can put your Dev team Riders up into the world to a team to fill out the squad but here we get to the climb I

Don’t know what the extreme weather was supposed to be maybe if it’s under 30° in Oman it’s extreme weather but it looked pretty good the weather to me and ulissi immediately started Pace setting a Tempo and he’s good on these efforts too these uni Puerto efforts ul’s very

Very good at them but Hub Arts dropped everybody else in the breakway he’d already lost quite a bit of time in GC though that was the problem for him and then Adam jates starts to set a Tempo Fisher Black’s shoulders were rolling and it looked to me like Yates would

Pace and not drop Fisher black but then when someone like here attacks Yates obviously has to go with him Yates was 4 seconds ahead of hit on GC at this point and we’ve still got over I don’t know five 7 minutes left on this climb and the Tactical benefit for Yates is and

For UAE is that here has to keep pacing now maybe he didn’t need to keep pacing the whole time as much because Fisher black I think lost 30 seconds to him but he has to pace and that means he’s got Yates getting a free ride albeit not the

Best gradiance to get a draft there still some benefit to it and you could tell almost immediately as they catch up to hubar who was really really good actually not to lose that much time he ends up third on this stage you can tell how easy Yates was doing it he just half

Wield hit the whole climb basically just sitting there he had also won himself on this climb in 202 to when he was on Anto marhe you remember that the thumbnail of Tom dint going parallel sideways probably a bit earlier than this on the climb uh but he’s no match for for Adam

Yates who came third in the tour last year who has put pagat under pressure on jabel her feet which isn’t as steep as this effort and it’s more 25 to 30 minute climb dropped aaple on that last year and I wonder how fast Yates could have gone because it seemed like he was

Just going to sit there defend maybe Fisher black comes back not try and put him in a spot and he’s looking back see where he is um you can just tell he’s doing it easy dancing out on the pedals so I think Yates could have gone much much faster still breaks the

Record though uh with like 6.8 watts per kilo for 1804 check out the article link down below showing all the watts per kilo and climbing records from jabal alakar over the years and with about 150 M to go puts on the afterburners and that’s it he says C lady Yan H puts 11

Seconds into him in 150 M so I don’t know who else is turning up to the UAE tour next week but Yates is going to be the red hot favorite because he basically set the record on this climb in his sleep just sprinting at the end

Easily takes the GC win and the stage win easy does it he had finished well enough to actually come second in GC overall cuz he put enough time into Finn Fisher black and Christian Rodriguez again did a pretty good effort on Sams always seems to be do reasonably good wats in these

Sort of walk up and whack it climbs but then you don’t see much later in the season in like the Welter for example and then actually youi outs Sprints Fisher black and drops him at the end despite having paced uh earlier but it all ends well for UA overall as a team

One and three in GC the stage win is just Fisher black who loses out here’s what y had to say after the stage you know we started off real strong with muskat classic and uh and then Finn won again another stage so the team’s been working really well um you know we also

Have the two young guys from from from the UAE and uh you know it’s a nice experience for them to to come here with us and and uh and yeah managed to win so uh um all week we we wor worked really well and and uh we’re nice to win so

It’s been super nice here’s the GC standings y’s winning as I said ahead of here at Fisher black then ulissi Rodriguez Bari van not a little bit disappointing in seventh Co at cob f Prost in 10th little bit strange uh the race because yeah there was a really bad

Weather a couple of days ago on stage two but they shortened this not that it really makes a difference but they shortening this stage whe they do an extra 30 50 km of flat it makes no difference to these guys but the weather would look looked really really good but

Let me know what you think is this full booting for the UAE tour next week the biggest world Tour stage race yet of the year maybe it means that the other teams need to take advantage of any crosswind action they can see or find to put Yates and UAE Under Pressure but

I hope you enjoy the video and I’ll see you with those UAE tour Recaps next week ciao
