Analysis

The Movistar Team reinforces its presence in the 2023 Asia Tour as they start a long Middle East tournée in February with the third edition of the Saudi Tour, which will cover several areas from the Kingdom’s western zone over five stages predominantly suited to the sprinters.

The roads, hillier and slightly cooler than other races in the area, include two difficult finishes: those in Abu Rakah (Wednesday 1st), over a 800m, 7% slope right before the end, and especially the one at Harrat Uwayrid (Thursday 2nd), with a brutal ascent (2.8km at 12%; last 1.5km at nearly 17%) just 9km before the end. The last finish line in Maraya on Friday 3rd is also an uphill one.
