- BY ALARIC GOMES Chief Reporter

The UAE Cycling Federation Dubai Eye 103.8 UAE Road Cycling Championsh­ip will bring down the curtains on the 2018 season this Friday.

To be raced over a 103.8km course on Dubai’s roads, starting and finishing at Dubai Sports City’s Sports Park, Stage Four is all set to welcome the riders as well as crown the overall champions of the 2018 season.

“Rounding out this season’s four-stage Championsh­ip with a 103.8km road race on Dubai’s roads is a very fitting salute to our competing cyclists, and to the sport,” Jeff O’Brien, Managing Partner, Onside Sports and UAE Road Cycling Championsh­ip organiser, said.

Taking their leaders’ jerseys into the final stage are Roisin Thomas (Expatriate Female), Rashid Al Baloushi (Social Emirati Male), Khalid Mayouf (Emirati Clubs Male) and Sam Stollery (Expatriate Male).

Titles of the 2018 UAE Road Cycling Championsh­ip’s four main categories will be decided via a points system, and follow the British Cycling Points System.
