Metti Stefan Bissegger davanti al campione del mondo Filippo Ganna. E' questo il sorprendente verdetto finale della terza tappa dell'UAE Tour una cronometro individuale di 9 chilometri disegnata attorno alla città di Ajman.
Lo svizzero della EF Education EasyPost, non nuovo a questo tipo di imprese (due successi lo scorso anno contro il tempo alla Parigi Nizza e al Benelux Tour), è andato fortissimo chiudendo la sua prova in 9'43" ad una media superiore ai 55 km orari. Bissegger, classe 1997 elvetico di Weinfelden nel Canton Turgovia, ha preceduto di 7" l'iridato Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) autore comunque di una grande performance, e l'olandese Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo Visma) terzo classificato a 14". Ottima anche la prestazione dello sloveno Tadej Pogacar (Uae Team Emirates) che chiude al quarto posto accusando dal vincitore un distacco di 18".
Da sottolineare il nono posto del neoprof danese Price Pejtersen, campione del mondo ed europeo under 23 nel 2021, e dell'ex leader Philipsen entrambi classificati fra i primi dieci.
Domani, con Bissegger in maglia rossa di leader della classifica, si sale con l'arrivo in quota ai 1490 metri di Jebel Jais.
