The official routes for the seventh edition of the UAE Tour and the third edition of the UAE Tour Women have been announced.
The UAE Tour race organisers, the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, have confirmed that this year’s edition of the women’s race will run from February 6-9, 2025, while the men’s race will take place from February 17-23, 2025.
As the only UCI World Tour races held in the Middle East, the UAE Tour and the UAE Tour Women have consolidated their positions as premier events on the international cycling calendar. The 2024 edition saw Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky, wearing the world champion’s rainbow jersey, triumph in the women’s race, while her young compatriot Lennert Van Eetvelt claimed victory in the men’s race.
Fabrizio D’Amico, Chief Operating Officer at RCS Sports & Events, and UAE Tour Director, said “We are excited and ready for the seventh edition of the UAE Tour and the third edition of the UAE Tour Women, made possible once again by the leadership of the country, the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, and all our stakeholders.
“The UAE Tour, both Men and Women, has always been a symbol of excellence, and this year will be no different. Once again this year, we have an impressive line-up of cycling champions ready to take on the challenges of every stage.
“We are proud to support and foster the Abu Dhabi Sports Council’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the UAE’s position as a leading global cycling destination, while also promoting the sport as a recreational and healthy activity. I look forward to welcoming all participants and fans to these incredible event.”
