The one and only WorldTour race in the middle east

CASTELLI OFFICIAL PARTNER OF THE UAE TOUR, THE ONE AND ONLY WORLDTOUR RACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST The new UCI WorldTour race will start in Abu Dhabi and end in Dubai, with a route that runs through the Emirates. The merger between the Dubai Tour and the Abu Dhabi Tour will create a bigger, better and more successful race. – The UAE Tour, the one and only WorldTour race in the Middle East – The choice to merge was likely made because the change was necessary in order to grow. Having a longer race is an opportunity to offer a good mix of stages, open to all kinds of riders, like Tirreno-Adriatico. The debut edition of the UAE Tour, scheduled from February 24 to March 2, 2019, will take place with a new logo and a new trophy but the same passion and the same leaders’ jerseys supplier.

Back to Abu Dhabi for the 2018 Tour

The 2018 Abu Dhabi Tour is now here, with the official start on Wednesday, February 21. The 5-stage race in the Emirates will be more interesting than ever, as its route is supposed to shuffle the cards thanks to a new ITT, together with 3 sprint stages and a hilly day. As announced, we’re supplying the official jerseys of the leaders of the race. They were specifically studied for the Abu Dhabi race, and they are anatomically shaped for a perfect aerodynamic balance and performance. The 11.8 time trial kilometers are put on the fourth stage, just before the final stage to the mountain finish of Jebel Hafeet. Before that, 3 sprinter stages are going to lead the group around the Emirates. Here you can see the peloton training inside the Yas Marina F1 Circuit in Abu Dhabi, the same the F1 cars have been using since 2009. No, you won’t see any car racing from this Wednesday, but we love to think that in the desert of the Emirates, the Abu Dhabi Tour can be even more fascinating. Don’t forget there will be a mountain stage too – only Esteban Chaves, Tanel Kangert and former world champion Rui Costa managed to win the Tour ...
