i believe he was trying

[@timcahill4445]

Very grateful for the 'Modified' graphic in bold, candy-apple red, otherwise how else would we have known.

[@metatron-007]

The acceleration by Yates at the end was totally awesome, what a weapon..

[@xAudiolith]

Love watching hime race. He's a monster. Looking lean and mean haha

[@metatron-007]

@@xAudiolith I agree

[@benroberts1096]

'weapon'. Not necessarily a complement, at least in the UK! 🤣

[@StopTheRot]

@@benroberts1096it is in the cycling world - even in the uk. Appreciate it’s the opposite away from the cycling world.

[@mrwezbo]

Yep, knew it was coming but still said "holy shit" when he just effortlessly teleports away

[@richfox1255]

Totally blown away by the massive crowds at the finish of each of these stages.

[@DavidDudley-yy2ui]

glad someone noticed

[@MangoJasssss]

UAE doesn’t get enough credit for managing the amount of talent they have. Everyone knows what they have to do and what is expected.

[@jake8jb35]

they've certainly improved!

[@arcticchrisx7724]

They have improved massively in that regard. Last year in races without Pogacar it was all out chaos internecine warfare.

[@MangoJasssss]

@@arcticchrisx7724 agreed. They’ve definitely established the order of importance this year

[@strupotter]

Just wait until Pog, Yates, Ayuso and Almeida at the le tour

[@apolloniusbeitsman5444]

Managing talent?😂😂😂 lol. They just buy anyone they want and nobody dares to complain because they get paid massive amount. Boring and soulless team. Visma for the win

[@PixelCC1]

Yates dancing on his pedals is pure art

[@geraldhornsby]

Loved the idea of a "walk up and whack it" climb. Beautifully descriptive.

[@jaredv2586]

6.8 W/kg for almost 20 min and Yates wasn’t even tired

[@philipk4475]

I can hold 6.8 w/kg for a bit over a minute. Bonkers what the pros can do

[@shaneskillzrepresent]

enhanced?

[@philhubbard2096]

@@shaneskillzrepresent pretty standard power in the pro ranks. I'd expect an average Cat 3/4 racers to be able to do it for 2-3minutes on 4 hours training a week

[@jacobgarnham5971]

Reminds me of a climb between 2 riders about 20 years ago in Europe. Can't remember the race or the riders.

[@BurnerAcc-yy1sd]

​@@philhubbard2096pls don't tell me you actually think Yates is clean?

[@savagepro9060]

3:57 right there, that acceleration should be rendered illegal by UCI. How can someone disrespect a fellow competitor like that in broad daylight!

[@richardhaselwood9478]

That's just disrespectful 😢

[@petegarnett7731]

@savagepro9060; It's a RACE. He was savage.

[@Pandametal_]

Yates' acceleration at the end was totally crazy, as if it was a recovery ride before and he just pushed on the pedals a little at the end

[@cyclingthomas826]

Ive been waiting days for your upload. Always worth it 👌🏻

[@oceanzmat]

LR in beast mode today. Adam Jates anyone? As for Mr Jates, what more can we say except…”watts” in the water in Lancashire?

[@Formolopainface]

Nice that Yates always wears a proper casquette, rate that.

[@BreakawayB]

👏Really great performance from Yates, he looked so comfortable.

[@vinniamsterdam700]

I went through the desert on a horse wth no name it felt good to be out of the rain

[@AlejandroCompagnucci-f2f]

Es un clasico de ADAM, de comerce a todos al final, espera y muerde.... SQUALO. 💪💪👍

[@nzocasipe4073]

What a monster Yates looked like he just finished his warm up after that climb jesuss

[@tomshaw5435]

The numbers Yates doing already this year must be a good sign for the tour 🔥

[@HanMoP]

wow cycling is such a popular sport in Oman. I saw the spectators… Both of them…

[@poincareconjecture5651]

Man he was feeling it

[@jhands1988]

There’s more spectators at my local Wednesday crit.

[@sigfreed11]

I’m new to cycling - I’d love a breakdown series of how the sport works and how the seasons unfold!

[@orangeorphan]

UAE should ride for Yates at the Tour 😀

[@the_joe_reynolds_foundation]

Yates was just chilling in the Montreal race last year too. I was hanging on the back side of the course spectating and everyone but him was DRAGGING themselves up that climb. He looked annoyed to be going that slow. Got some photos around here somewhere with their pain faces.

[@williamsamson2177]

Sheesh, 6.8 w/kg for 18 min?! Wow. Reckon Jeroen and Inigo are onto something here... Exciting times ahead

[@clintoneufrasio]

Yates style is really nice

[@Eirikkinserdal]

Yates speaks at 1.25x 😅

[@methylmike]

we are so back

[@santiagobenites]

That crowd!

[@zoolookers]

Where is stage 4!?

[@cd66061]

Weather looks shocking! They should have postponed 😂😎

[@savagepro9060]

Adam went up the hill like Eve was waiting at the top for him!

[@Justintanega]

The amount Hirt’s front wheel weaves compared to Yates, must’ve done an extra 100m by the time they get to the top!

[@LLdasVitamin]

Man, the stage was cut to avoid the extreme weather.

[@cheechorino3710]

Yates took the boys out back today

[@savagepro9060]

Adam Yates is literally the best cycling in the world when he’s riding in countries with bad human rights situations 😂

[@Vvv-nd7vr]

do you mean Oman? pro We get more than we already have rights

[@charlesseeley7605]

He is da best😂

[@obifox6356]

What a discomfort for Hirt, to have Yates just over his shoulder, knowing he will pass!

[@sloothix]

I was gonna say is that amount of half wheeling really necessary, I guess he might of been demoralizing him to stop his attack enough to allow Finn to comeback.

[@jakubkmit747]

why does he halfwheel the dude in front of him, not going straight behind him ?

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Jates Buryed Hirt in the last 150.

[@daviddang82]

UAE gots the deepest team. They could have 2 TDF teams lol

Full mutant power output.

Has Yates always talked that fast..

[@MichaelBoogerd]

really weak field... no surprise he won... but setting records is a good sign for when the season heats up.

[@gunni1747]

Hot take: Yates will win the tour, Pog will go there just to win stages and saves some energy for the rest of the season.

[@markadamson969]

Surely a record because they rode at least 50km less than they normally would have???

[@bcn1996]

Walk up and whack it 😂

[@fautqucabele2070]

Well, the record was apparently not very good because Hirt broke it too, didn't he?
