Antonio Tiberi flew to his first ever WorldTour win on stage three of the UAE Tour on Wednesday, as race leader Remco Evenepoel lost over two minutes on the steep climb of Jebel Mobrah.
As a result, Bahrain Victorious’s Tiberi climbed into the red leader’s jersey. Stage one winner Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) finished second, but couldn’t challenge Tiberi after he attacked with just over four kilometres to go.
After being out of position when the attack happened, Del Toro finished 15 seconds behind the victor, with former UAE Tour winner Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Intermarché) finishing third, a further 14 seconds back.
