Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step) wygrał w Abu Zabi szósty odcinek wyścigu UAE Tour.
Mistrz Belgii na finiszu z peletonu nie znalazł sobie równych, wyprzedzając Sama Bennetta (Bora-hansgrohe) i Dylana Groenewegena (Jayco AlUla).
Liderem wyścigu pozostaje mistrz świata Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step).
Przedostatniego dnia do przejechania było 166 kilometrów, po płaskiej jak stół trasie. Dodatkowo, droga prowadziła w terenie zabudowanym, więc nie było nadziei na wiatr i związane z tym ranty.
W ucieczkę zabrali się bezpośrednio rywalizujący ze sobą w klasyfikacji aktywnych Edward Planckaert (Alpecin-Deceuninck) i Samuele Zoccarato (Green Project-Bardiani CSF), którym postanowił potowarzyszyć Larry Warbasse (AG2R Citroën). Trójka została odpuszczona na ponad 4 minuty.
Planckaert wygrał obie lotne premie, umacniając się jako właściciel czarnej koszulki, a następnie pierwszy zrezygnował ze skazanej na pożarcie akcji. Najbardziej zawzięty okazał się natomiast Warbasse, doścignięty niespełna 5 kilometrów przed metą.
Defekt z walki o zwycięstwo etapowe w ostatniej chwili wyeliminował Marka Cavendisha (Astana Qazaqstan). Brytyjczyk na finiszu miałby i tak niewielkie szanse w konfrontacji z Timem Merlierem, który popisał się znakomitym sprintem, sięgając po swój drugi etap podczas tegorocznej edycji UAE Tour.
