    The first of two big climbing days on the UAE tour destination jable J and after the time trial a welcome return to the road not least for Mark Stewart The Man in Black and of course our leader Bron mcnalty after a superb time trial while the wind was blowing lightly but

    Expected to pick up out in the wide open Countryside a long stage as well this with a climb at the end of it a total of 176 km and with a southernly tip begging echelons and Crosswinds we were in for some drama not least at the very end of the day two intermediate

    Sprints with points up for grabs therein and when they rolled out there was one man who found himself in the break almost automatically the man in the black Jersey Mark Stewart was up the road first with Sil van dilia and later on with Jonas riot after the first break

    Had been caught big crosswind action between 95 km to go and this point on your screens now and quite frankly it was brutal a lot of big names have been caught behind burning too much energy before we even got to the mountains themselves still a flat road but not a

    Flat Pace we were hitting 65 km perh on occasion with Tailwinds and Crosswinds thereafter it really was exhausting to watch and this was not nice to see either Adam Yates going down and going down High he wasn’t alone but he was the worst affected he got back upon his bike

    We were worried we were wondering about the pecking order within UE team Emirates would Yates be the supported Rider or the leader Brandon mcnalty or perhaps Jay Vine they had plenty of choice I love you one option for this man Mark Stewart she says

    Hi my day is done one of which was to sell and greetings back to his girlfriend back home guaranteed that black Jersey and maybe more he was looking for points as well the big point of the day was the big climb at the end of it and driving hard were UE team

    Emirates in this battle of attrition before we got to the top of the peak well the pace slowed dramatically and a lot of the fast men will be back in action for stage four were kicked out of the bik 14.9 km from home there’ been several rolls of the dice but who would

    Have the killer blow that was the big question it wasn’t to be unfortunately for Adam Yates he taken another blow to the head self-declared concussion later indeed medical tests proved he was absolutely right you got to be healthy first and foremost in this game that’s what it’s all

    About while the dice were being rolled out there there were a few that decided that they would reach for Glory several tried but as the kilometers ebed away the likes of kind of Rubio hoping to repeat the beat from the year prior were not to be and the big launch came round

    The outside and it was a magnificent move by deaon ag2 La mondal prom setting up Perry panra who set up Beno Connor what a team and what a flyer when a Conor went solo around about the flam Rouge he was not to be caught we were

    Kind of worried that he may well get tagged but in the end he drove it home it was a clear Victory and a victory as well for common sense and indeed teamwork perfectly timed beautifully delivered well Jay Vine also ensuring himself a place on the podium Brown

    Mcnalty seeding top spot I’m afraid and so the Jersey handing over to his teammate overall jayvine leading but what a win that was brilliant work by deat ag2 mondal and what a gutsy performance by Ben o Conor taking his moment absolutely impeccably had a good time trial as well

    He should have been want to watch well all we did was watch him come home genius at work aonor takes it ahead of Jay Vine the late finishing Leonard van evelt as well leading home the rest of the pack ahead of Max pole and vilda AA VTA the Hungarian Champion Jay Vine is

    The new race leader it stays with UE team Emirates but without Adam Yates that’s a hobbled team as we had inexorably ultimately to yabal hait this would jabal JIS and Jay Vine comes off the mounted in the lead of this race by 11 seconds over Ben o Conor so what lies

    Ahead on stage four well it should be one for the sprinters do not be surprised if Mark Stewart is up the road yet again he just can’t help himself but this is where the fast men who’ve come in their multitude here to this race will indeed strut their stuff once again

    Dubai Harbor is our destination a fine race in Prospect yet another stage to entertain us as this race always Does

    1. Kudos to Adam Yates but cycling desperately needs an independently organised method for stratifying head injury risk and managing that appropriately
