UAE Tour Challenge in Abu Dhabi

UAE Tour Challenge, a four-race series for amateur cyclists in the UAE, will be held at Al Hudayriat Island in Abu Dhabi on January 25 next year. The 16km Individual Time Trial (ITT) is scheduled for January 25. The second race is planned for February 1 in the garden city of Al Ain. The course is a tribute to the classic Abu Dhabi Tour ‘Queen stage’ with the finish line 1,025m above sea level after 11km of climbing featuring gradients of 11 per cent. There is a choice of two distances: 47km and 67km. The third race, on February 13, returns to Dubai and the fourth on March 1, is hosted entirely by Ras Al Khaimah.
