Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) soloed to the stage victory on the final day of the AlUla Tour, taking the overall win in the process.
The Swiss racer jumped away from an elite group of attackers late on the 164km stage, eventually crossing the line 11 seconds up on Byron Munton (Modern Adventure Pro Cycling). Christen’s teammate, Igor Arrieta, led a group of five riders home to take third place, 32 seconds down.
Christen had emerged as part of a lead group on that climb, which peaked 9km from the finish line. On the way up, the breakaway of Dries De Bondt (Jayco-AlUla), Lars Vanden Heede (Soudal-QuickStep), Milan Fretin (Cofidis), Rayan Boulahoite (TotalEnergies), Javier Ibáñez (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Federico Iacomoni (Team Ukyo), and Juan Pedro Lozano (Terengganu) had fractured, having earlier enjoyed a three-minute lead.
