Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) powered to victory on stage three winning atop of the new summit finish of Jebel Mobrah. Remco Evenepoel cracked on the steepest slopes and lost the red jersey, Tiberi making his decisive attack with 4km remaining, Del Toro mounted a late chase in the closing kilometers, but Tiberi held it to the line to win by 15 seconds. Tiberi moves into the Red Jersey as race leader and also the White Jersey as best young rider, sitting 21 seconds ahead of Del Toro on GC. “This is a dream for me, and I still need to realise what I’ve done. I had been waiting for this moment to come, and today it finally happened. It’s ever more special to achieve it on such a hard climb here in the UAE. I came here with the goal of finishing in the top five, maybe ever the top three. I think today I showed that I can also try to win the UAE Tour, and from not won I will definitely go for the victory.” -Antonio Tiberi
