2024 UAE Tour Stage 3 | Results and Report

Ben O’Connor secured a remarkable victory on Stage 3 of the UAE Tour, marking his first mountain race win in quite some time. The Australian rider’s stellar performance propelled him to the top of the podium in a thrilling display of strength and determination.

Reflecting on his victory, O’Connor praised his teammates for their exceptional support throughout the race. “It’s been a long time since I’ve won a mountain race. It was incredible. The boys were very good today,” he remarked. “It’s my second win of the year, which is really good. I wasn’t confident about a sprint finish, so we decided to give it our all in the last kilometer.”

O’Connor recounted the intense final moments of the race, highlighting the efforts of his teammates and his own perseverance. “Valentin Paret-Peintre almost took me out of his wheel when he attacked, but we managed to pull ahead, and I kept going right to the end,” he explained. “I felt really good all day, even with the wind. It’s good to be in the race for overall victory before Jebel Hafeet (Ben is 2nd overall).”

Sports director Sébastien Joly commended the team’s strategy, emphasizing the meticulous execution of their plan. “The tactics put in place on stage 3 of the UAE Tour were applied to the letter,” he said. “Ben O’Connor was really strong, and this is a great collective victory.”

Thanks to O’Connor’s triumph on the challenging ascent of Jebel Jais, the DECATHLON AG2R LA MONDIALE team clinched its first World Tour event victory of the season, marking a significant achievement for the squad.

UAE Tour 2024 Route stage 3: Al Marjan Island – Jebel Jais

It will be the fifth time a pro-peloton visits Jebel Jais. On the first three occasions, the consistent but low-gradient climb made it hard to open up proper time gaps. Primoz Roglic outsprinted Tom Dumoulin in 2019, while Jonas Vingegaard took the spoils in 2021 and Tadej Pogacar in 2022, the first with a late attack, the latter with a sprint.

Last year though, team mates Albert Torres and Einer Rubio launched a duo-attack with 11 kilometres to go. Rubio pushed on alone to open up a 1 minute gap in the ensuing 5 kilometres. He held off the GC group to celebrate his first win as a professional.

What’s it going to be this time? The first part of the race approaches Jebel Jais on flat desert roads. After the second passage through Ras al-Khaimah the road begins to rise false flat before Jebel Jais kicks in with 21.1 kilometres remaining. The average gradient sits at 5.4%, predominantly 4 to 5% in the first part and 5 to 7% in the second. The steepest ramp at 9% appears 2 kilometres from the finish. The average gradient for the remainder of the route is 7.1%.

Climbing Jebel Jais is as if climbing the moon, as the surrounds are barren and rocky.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.

2024 Masters TV schedule, coverage, live stream, channel, how to watch online, streaming, golf tee times

How to watch every memorable moment of the 2024 masters on tv or streaming live.

The most wonderful time of the golf season has arrived once again as the beauty of April surrounds Augusta National Golf Club this week. The 2024 Masters is a star-studded affair with a loaded field featuring the best golfers in the world. Scottie Scheffler entered as the favorite and stands as one of three leaders through 36 holes.

Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy have both struggled despite making the cut, while five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods set a record at Augusta National by making the weekend in his 24th consecutive playing of the tournament. Woods sits 1 over and just on the outskirts of contention after making 22 fairways through his first 36 holes, his best such mark since 1999.

While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.

CBS Sports offers extensive, week-long coverage across all its platforms with its traditional 18-hole broadcast coverage beginning with the third round on Saturday and final-round action on Sunday. Jim Nantz, in his 39th consecutive year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 37th time. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman joins Nantz as the lead analyst at the Masters for the second time. Nantz and Immelman link up with CBS Sports' incredible golf team, including on-course reporter Dottie Pepper and the legendary Verne Lundquist, who will be calling his final Masters.

Enough talking about it. Here's how you can watch as much Masters as possible throughout the week. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports for live coverage throughout and download the CBS Sports app  to watch Masters Live on your mobile device.

UAE Tour: Brandon McNulty wins stage 2 time trial as home team claim 1-2-3

American national champion takes overall lead as UAE Team Emirates dominate stage 2 with Vine second, Bjerg third

How it unfolded

Brandon McNulty won the 12.1 km time trial at the UAE Tour , beating teammates Jay Vine and Mikkel Bjerg to give UAE Team Emirates a 1-2-3 in their home race.

McNulty also took the overall race lead before the first mountain finish on Jebel Jais on Wednesday and is now a contender for overall victory when the UAE Tour is decided on the Jebel Hafeet climb on Sunday.

The American national time trial champion set a time of 13:27 for the 12.1 km course around Hudayriyat Island, at an average speed of close to 54 km/h. Vine was just two seconds slower at 13:29, with Mikkel Bjerg setting 13:31.

McNulty and Vine now have a significant lead on their overall rivals. However, a slight risk of crosswinds and daily time bonuses perhaps keep the race open.

UAE Team Emirates also have Adam Yates in their powerful squad. The Briton lost 28 seconds to McNulty but is perhaps the better climber in the peloton if the race explodes on the mountain finishes or if McNulty cracks.

Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) is now their closest rival. The former World time trial Champion lost 14 seconds to McNulty but is a good climber and suited to tomorrow's Jebel Jais finish. Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) can also not be ruled out. He lost 19 seconds and was fourth overall last year.

“This is huge,” McNulty said, smiling under his growing moustache. “I had my first GC win a couple of weeks ago and now my first WorldTour time trial. It’s been a good month.

“Personally I was good. I wasn’t sure how I was feeling because the power wasn’t reading quite right but I had good speed for the whole TT. I have to be satisfied because I won.”

UAE Team Emirates looked at every possible detail of the time trial.

“The team has put so much into the time trial set-up, it’s really paid off for everyone,” McNulty said.

“We looked at the wind and it looked like it would pick up a little bit throughout the day, so we put our best three guys to start first. I guess it paid off.”

McNulty and UAE Team Emirate will now begin their defence of the race leader’s red jersey. Wednesday's third stage is in the north of the UAE, with the 176 km stage finishing atop Jebel Jais.

The climb is officially 21.6km long but on smooth and wide roads. The first part is at 4.4%, a long middle section is at 5.7%, while the final three kilometres are at 7.1%, suiting power climbers like McNulty.

Sunday’s final stage to Jebel Hafeet is steeper and likely to be decisive.

“It’s tough to say,” McNulty said modestly when asked if he can defend the race lead.

“We have a hard day tomorrow (Wednesday) and Jebel Hafeet is a tough climb. But we are in a good position. Adam Yates is also one of the best on this climb, so I think we have a good chance.”

A strong 20 km/h breeze was blowing across Hudayriyat Island on Tuesday, adding extra difficulty to the high-speed, high-power race against the clock.

The 12.1 m time trial loop was on a bike track around the man-made island south of Abu Dhabi and so riders faced an early ride into the warm headwind before a fast, tailwind-assisted ride back to the finish on a more twisting route.

McNulty was one of the early riders to start, his stars and stripes jersey indicating he was the US national champion and a clear contender for victory. He lived up to expectations.

The 25-year-old from Phoenix was a junior world time trial champion in 2016 and has a superb time trial position. He went out hard into the head wind and reached the time split at 5.5km in 6:36. He used the tailwind to blast back to the finish and stopped the clock in 13:27. That put him in the hot seat, with the time for everyone else to beat.

Winner of the Critéium du Dauphiné ITT in 2022, McNulty's teammate Bjerg went close with a similarly skilled ride but the Dane was four seconds slower at 13:31.

Jay Vine was also fast, taking some risk along the edge of the road surface, to set a time of 13:29 and give UAE Team Emirates a 1-2-3.

Adam Yates was not chasing the stage victory but was hoping to limit any time losses to his GC rivals. He tried to emulate McNulty and Vine and also started early, but fought in his aero tuck to set a time of 13:55, 28 seconds down on McNulty.

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) is an overall threat thanks to his climbing skills and excellent race tactics. He set a time of 13:46, to gain nine seconds on Yates and sit 18 seconds down on McNulty.

Britain’s Max Poole (dsm-firmenich PostNL) crashed in the stage 1 sprint but fought the pain of his road rash to finish 27 seconds down. Ben O’connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) can also not be ruled out. The Australian lost 22 seconds but can climb well and is on form having won the recent Vuelta Murcia with a solo attack.

Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal-Quick Step) could also be a threat. He was sixth in the time trial and is sixth overall at 17 seconds, also moving him into the young rider's white jersey.

Foss is fourth overall at 14 seconds on his debut with Ineos Grenadiers but it is now up to UAE Team Emirates to control the race and defend their dominant position in the GC with McNulty and Vine.
