Tadej Pogačar and Adam Yates Epic Duel on Jebel Hafeet | UAE Tour Stage 3 2021

Stage 3 of the UAE Tour was the first World Tour level mountain top finish of the season, with the riders finishing on top of Jebel Hafeet, a 10.5km climb of around 7% gradient. Tadej Pogačar began the stage in the leaders jersey 5 seconds ahead of Quickstep leader Almeida and 39 seconds ahead of last year's UAE Tour GC winner, Adam Yates (now moved to Ineos Grenadiers). With Yates' penchant for early attacks, and the numerous strong climbers out of GC contention but hunting for a stage win (Sepp Kuss for example), there was always going to be a big showdown on Jebel Hafeet in this UAE Tour Stage 3 2021.
