Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

Last stage of the UAE Tour and a second bash at the wall-like Jebel Hafeet final climb. Can Tiberi hold off Del Toro (21 seconds on GC)? Can Remco climb better without cramp?! Top 12 are within 2 mins, a lot around 1:30 so still room for surprises over the 6km climb.

Race currently underway 52km to go, 7 riders away 1:45 on Peloton.

Currently scanning you tube to find a live stream. Somewhat ironic that live feeds pop up on each of the flat days without prompting, but are absent on both climb days.
 
I won't spill the winner, but Remco... really not liking the climbing, it's a mystery. He gave one early attack 5km from the top, sort of half hearted, and when he was passed shortly later, he couldn't stay with the group, pulled out of the chain and went clean out the back.

Another intelligent ride by Luke Plapp.
