Eddie Dunbar has abandoned the UAE Tour after he fractured his hand in a crash in the finale of stage 1. The Irishman had already been forced out by a crash at his previous outing at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.
The opening stage of the UAE Tour was marred by a mass crash in the final kilometre and Dunbar was among the victims. His Jayco-Alula team later confirmed that he would not start Tuesday’s individual time trial.
