For the first time, we invite riders from across the UAE to join ADNOC sponsors of the UAE for the Ruwais Cycle Challenge.

Friday morning February 28 join us from a complimentary pre race breakfast, meet and greet with the Tour's leading cyclists as we wave them off for stage 6.

The Ruwais Challenge will start immediately after the UAE Tour Stage and follow the tour riders through the city of Ruwais before the tour riders turn to head towards Al Mirfa and the challenge riders turn and head towards Ruwais Beach.

The Challenge will be an 82km ride for the men and a 60km for the women. You will return and finish at the strat point of the UAE Tour Stage 6 gathering point.

Lunch will be served and riders will be able to watch the finish of Stage 6 on the big screen.

Prize pool of AED100,000 spread across the age groups is on offer.

All riders receive a complimentary breakfast, finishers' medal and free photo downloads as well as the chance to meet the tour's top riders.
