Mark Cavendish sfodera una volata d'autore e conquista il successo nella seconda tappa dell’UAE Tour, la Hudayriyat Island - Abu Dhabi Breakwater di 176 km. Il britannico della Quick Step Alpha Vynil ha letto alla perfezione la corsa, ha anticipato la volata costringendo alla resa Bennet e ha resistito da campione al ritorno di Jasper Philipsen. Alle loor spalle Ackermann, Kooji, Demare e il bravo Matteo Malucelli della Gazprom Rusvelo.
Davvero astuta la mossa di Cavendish che non ha seguto Morkov, alla cui ruota c'erano Guarnieri e Demare, ma ha preferito lanciarsi tutto solo seguendo il disegno della strada che piegava leggermente a sinistra e ha scelto il momento giusto per piazzare il suo acuto.
Ovviamente Philipsen, primo ieri e secondo oggi, conserva la maglia rossa di leader della classifica generale.
Per Cannonball si tratta del secondo successo stagionale, del numero 158 in carriera e la Quick Step Alpha Vynil con questa vittoria arriva già a quota 10 in stagione e siamo solo al 21 febbraio...
LA CORSA. Un attacco in grande stile, quello organizzato oggi dalla Gazprom Rusvelo che ha mandato all’attacco ben tre dei suoi corridori ovvero Pavel Kochetkov, Michael Kurkle e Dmitry Strakhov. Il gruppo li ha ripresi a 35 km dalla conclusione, proprio quando il vento ha cominciato a soffiare in senso contrario alla marcia dei corridori e li ha costretti ad un surplus di fatica.
