A sixth stage of the UAE Tour once again marked by a long-range breakaway from Manuele Tarozzi, who went on the attack for the fourth day in the Emirati race. The rider from Faenza contested the sprints in the two intermediate points, attempting to gain the necessary points to overtake the leader of the intermediate sprint classification, but his efforts were unsuccessful. The last remaining breakaway riders, including Tarozzi, tried a decisive move in the finale but were caught 3 km from the finish line.

In the final sprint, the best finisher for VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè was the Verona-born Enrico Zanoncello, who secured eighth place and a Top 10 finish. Tomorrow’s final stage will be crucial for the overall classification. Riders will face 176 km, culminating in a challenging final climb. The race will be broadcast live from 11:20 AM on Eurosport 2 and streamed live on Discovery+.
