The 2024 UAE Tour is the longest of the three stage races held in the deserts of the Middle East, and the only one to hold UCI World Tour status. It consequently attracts the strongest field, which this year is packed with world class sprinters and also a few decent climbers.  

Read on and we'll show you how to watch a 2024 UAE Tour live stream from anywhere with a VPN .

UAE Tour live streams will be available from February 19 – 25, 2024. ►  Time — Start times very each day. • U.S. — FloBikes •   U.K. — Discovery + • Watch anywhere — Try ExpressVPN 100% risk free

The second World Tour stage race of 2024 kicks off in the United Arab Emirates, and while there are a couple decent climbs on the route, it’s the sprinters who have turned up in force to battle it out on the desert roads. Nearly all the big name fast men are down to start from Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco AlUla), Fabio Jakobsen (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL) and Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) to Elia Viviani (INEOS Grenadiers) and the one and only Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan). 

The race starts with a straightforward sprint stage but then the following day the overall classification will get a shake up with a 12km individual time trial. Following this, the first of the two mountain stages comes on stage three with the punishing finish up to Jebel Jais, by which time we will have a good idea who the real contenders are. The sprinters will then be back in action for stages 4, 5 and 6 with three opportunities to flex their giant legs before the finale, stage 7 up the now iconic climb of Jebel Hafeet.

The peloton will no doubt be looking forward to seven days of hard racing in perfect weather before they head to the harsher conditions of northern Europe and the spring classics. 

The start of stage three was chaos as the bunch was ripped apart by crosswinds and it took a concerted effort by the teams of the leaders to bring everything back together before the final climb up Jebel Jais.

Stage six and the peloton’s speed increased slightly over the previous day but it was far from fast as for the third day in a row they rolled along the flat roads in the nice weather. Five riders went out on a futile break, never gained much time and were reeled in with 10 kilometres left.

Heading through the megapolis the speed picked up and it was that man Tim Merlier who triumphed again taking his third win of the race. That’s it for the sprinters though as tomorrow’s final stage finishes up Jebel Hafeet where after a three day hiatus the battle for the overall win will be decided. 

Can Jay Vine hold on and take an impressive World Tour stage race win or will anyone else be able to upset the home team?

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice . As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

Who is the favorite?

Who is favorite to win the 2024 uae tour.

With neither last year’s winner Remco Evenepoel nor second placed Luke Plapp riding, the hot favourite for the GC this year will be the third placed rider from 2023, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates). Fresh from his victory in the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, Brandon McNulty (also UAE Team Emirates) will be riding to back up his teammate, and they will need strength in numbers if they are to fend off the likes of Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), Roman Bardet (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), and young Belgian sensation Ilan van Wilder (Soudal Quick-Step).

Starting on Sunday (February 21) the seven-stage race will feature a host of star names, including Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), reigning champion Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadiers) as well as the sprinting talents of Sam Bennett (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal) and Elia Viviani (Cofidis). Meanwhile, Chris Froome will also be making his debut for Israel Start-Up Nation.

Here’s how you can watch the racing in your country:

Try out ExpressVPN for its speed, security and simplicity to use. We also like that it’s compatible with so many devices and streaming services (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc).

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.

Dubai's Olesen seeking strong finish to the DP World Tour season

Golf in uae, golf in uae uae.

The Dane returns to golf's Global Circuit after losing PGA Tour playing privileges

Dubai resident Thorbjørn Olesen returns to DP World Tour action this week at the Danish Golf Championship, where he is looking to take inspiration from compatriot Rasmus Højgaard.

This week’s start at Lübker Golf Resort marks Olesen’s first regular DP World Tour appearance since his emphatic win at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, where he set season records for lowest score and biggest winning margin as he romped to a six-shot victory at 27 under.

With a return to regular DP World Tour action on the horizon, the 34-year-old is hoping he can emulate Højgaard, who became the first Dane to win the tournament on home soil last season, much to the delight of the large vociferous crowds.

"Since this tournament came on it's always been a great week for us, especially for us Danes coming back home to play," said Olesen.

"I think also for all the other players it's been a great tournament, there's always been lots of people and the set up has always been really, really good.

"It's always been, since it came on, a dream to win here. Rasmus last year was incredible and a great finish to see him doing it and I think we really needed it. We'd been close but no Dane had won it before Rasmus so it was great to see him win it last year."

While Olesen is only playing his fourth regular DP World Tour event of the season, that’s not to say he hasn’t been busy with events around the world.

In fact, the eight-time DP World Tour winner has been playing predominantly on the PGA Tour after securing his playing privileges last season, while also featuring in three Major Championships, a Rolex Series event and the Olympic Games.

Olesen didn’t do enough in his limited PGA Tour starts to retain his card for next season, but is hopeful a return to familiar surroundings, coupled with his Olympics experience, will help set him up for a strong finish to the season on golf’s Global Circuit.

"I played in 16 in Brazil but this one was just incredible, the atmosphere that was there on the golf course reminded me of the Ryder Cup - it was so good," he said.

"Obviously you want to try to win a medal and we came up short of that, but it was a fantastic week and it showed golf in a different perspective and I think that's really good for the sport, overall it was an incredible week.

"I've been over there (PGA TOUR) most of this year but I'm happy to come back here to the DP World Tour, I love playing here and I'm going to be playing here the rest of this year and hopefully try and get that card back, that would be great.

"I've missed it a little bit for sure and I'm excited to play all these events in Europe with so many great weeks coming up."

The GC field reads like a who's who of the biggest names in cycling, with Yates's primary competition likely to come from 22-year-old Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar, who's under extra pressure to deliver, seeing as he's riding for UAE Team Emirates in their home race.

The UAE Tour has a reputation for being a sprinter's race, and this year's edition will be no different, incorporating four flat stages (Stages 1, 4, 6 and 7). Some of the star speed merchants in the field include Caleb Ewan, Sam Bennett, Pascal Ackermann, Giacomo Nizzolo and Fernando Gaviria, which makes for a fascinating spectacle.

UAE Team Emirates sanctioned for 'non-compliant' jersey at Vuelta a España team presentation

S even of the eight UAE Team Emirates riders at the Vuelta a España have been fined 500 Swiss Francs and docked 15 UCI points apiece for wearing an unauthorised jersey during the team presentation in Lisbon on Thursday.

Jay Vine, who missed the presentation, is the only UAE rider to avoid the sanction, which was announced by the race jury in the communiqué published after stage 1 on Saturday evening. Directeur sportif Marco Marcato was also fined 500 Swiss Francs.

The communiqué stated that the UAE riders had been sanctioned for "Non-compliant clothing during team presentations. (Not autorhized jersey by UCI) [sic]."

UAE Team Emirates took to the podium at the team presentation on Thursday evening wearing a special edition kit with pink and yellow details on the chest and sleeves to mark Tadej Pogačar’s Giro d’Italia-Tour de France double.

Pogačar opted against attempting a Grand Tour treble at the Vuelta, preferring to focus on building towards the World Championships road race in Zürich on September 29 .

Despite Pogačar’s absence, UAE Team Emirates have a strong chance of completing a sweep of Grand Tour victories this season, thus emulating Jumbo-Visma’s feat of a year ago.

João Almeida and Adam Yates – who placed fourth and sixth overall, respectively, at the Tour – lead the UAE Team Emirates line-up at the Vuelta, where the exciting neo-professional Isaac del Toro also lines up for his Grand Tour debut.

And although their team presentation jerseys didn’t pass muster with the commissaires, UAE Team Emirates claimed the most important garment of all on stage 1, as Brandon McNulty proved quickest on the time trial course to Oeiras to take possession of the maillot rojo .

McNulty sets out from Cascais on stage 2 with a lead of two seconds on Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek) and three on dangerman Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike).
