Phil Bauhaus ha vinto la prima edizione del Saudi Tour che oggi si è concluso con la quinta e ultima tappa da Princess Nourah University a Al Masnak di 144 chilometri. Il tedesco, della Bahrain McLaren, si è imposto allo sprint davanti a Nacer Bouhanni che si è lamentato con un vaffa... per la volata scorretta di Bauhaus. Completa il podio l'olandese Arvid De Kleijn (Riwal Readynez). Bene gli italiani Imerio Cima e Matteo Malucelli rispettivamente giunti in quinta e sesta posizione.

La frazione è stata caratterizzata dalla fuga degli spagnoli Madrazo (Burgos BH) e Irisarri (Caja Rural), del canadese Ellsay (Rally) e dell' l'inglese Jones (Ribble Weltdtite) i quali hanno raggounto un punta massima di 6' e che il gruppo, condotto dagli uomini della Arkea Samsic, ha ripreso ai meno quattro dalla conclusione.
