Twenty-one-year-old Josh Tarling confirmed his status as main favorite, setting a record speed for the UAE Tour at 56.671 km/h and becoming the youngest rider to wear the Red Jersey. The British champion covered the 12.2 km of the ITT in a time of 12'55", beating Stefan Besseges by 13" and Tadej Pogacar by 18".
"We had a good winter, we went to Teide with the team and from Kwiato's win yesterday it showed the team has super good mindset and he got the ball rolling for us. It was really windy in the first part with a headwind, then a long crosswind section. The first part was the hardest and we got some respite in the corners towards the end - so a TT of two halves."
-Josh Tarling continues a winning streak for the Ineos Grenadiers, who also won on Monday by Michal Kiwatkowski at the Clasica Jaen.
