Racing in the Middle East continues after the Tour of Oman with the region's only WorldTour race, the UAE Tour.
Since it was first run in its current form in 2019 after the Abu Dhabi Tour and the Dubai Tour merged, it has become one of the key early-season form markers, with an illustrious list of former winners: Primož Roglič, Adam Yates, Tadej Pogačar, Remco Evenepoel, and most recently, Lennert Van Eetvelt.
