2020 UAE Tour Stage 3 – Adam Yates

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the winner and new leader of the General Classification Adam Yates said:


“I attacked early because, this race being the first of the season for me, it was hard to know how everyone is going. I just wanted to test the legs. Maybe I attacked too early but in the end I felt good.

One minute difference is a lot but we’ll have to do this climb again and maybe my legs will not be so good. I also heard there might be crosswinds tomorrow so I’m still far from the overall victory.”
