Italy's Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) conquered the new Jebel Mobrah climb to win stage 3 of the UAE Tour and claim the overall lead of the race, holding off a big chase from Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) to take his first victory since 2024.
Del Toro's effort came up short of catching the strong Italian but earned him second, 15 seconds down on Tiberi. Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto-Intermarché) finished third, a further 14 seconds down, on the climb that blew up the peloton.
