'Grim' altitude camp at Mount Teide and monster 68t chainring play part in Josh Tarling reeling in result he 'needed' for Ineos at UAE Tour

INEOS Grenadiers' British rider Joshua Tarling celebrates on the podium after winning the second stage of the UAE Tour cycling race in al-Hudayriyat island in Abu Dhabi on February 18, 2025.

Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) piled all the pressure on himself at the UAE Tour when he told Cyclingnews that he not only wanted to win the stage 2 time trial but that he "needed it" after a rocky patch of form last season knocked his confidence.

However, the British time trial champion showed no signs of a rider lacking in belief as he not only delivered but did so with dominance and an average speed of 56.6kph over the 12.2km flat course on Al Hudayriyat Island.
