The fourth stage of the Dubai Tour was cancelled after strong winds hit the course. Upon arriving at the start in Hatta, riders raised questions about safety conditions and following a lengthy meeting with the top riders and the commissaires, the call was made not to run the stage.
Stage 4 had already been altered due to concerns about the winds and the start was moved to Hatta, in order to avoid the exposed run through the desert.
The race will resume on Saturday with Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) leading the overall classification eight seconds ahead of Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo).
