Tutto come un anno fa... La diga di Hatta Dam, con l'arrivo posto in vetta ad uno strappo di 250 metri, porta bene a Caleb Ewan che ha conquistato così il trionfo nella seconda tappa dell'UAE Tour. A sorprenderlo ci ha provato Sam Bennett al quale sono mancati però gli ultimi 30 metri. Ewan ha colto così il terzo successo della stagione, il 43esimo della sua carriera. Quarto posto di giornata per Diego Ulissi e sesto per Andrea Vendrame. Ewan conquista anche la maglia di leader della corsa alla vigilia del primo dei due arrivi in salita.

Ad animare la corsa è stata la lunga fuga di Leonardo Tortomasi e Veljko Stoijnic della Vini Zabù KTM, già in fuga ieri, mentre nel finale, mentre alcuni velocsiti - come Ackermann - e corridori come Frrome si staccavano, ci hanno provato Campenaerts e Conci, ma il loro tentativo è finito a 4 chilometri dalla diga di Hatta Dam.
