2020 UAE Tour: Stage 5 highlights - Video
Watch Tadej Pogacar deny Alexey Lutsenko atop Jebel Hafeet
In a three-man sprint to the top of Jebel Hafeet, the young Slovenian stand-out Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) denied Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) with Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) keeping his overall lead on stage 5 of the 2020 UAE Tour.
The trio came out of the final bend with Lutsenko in the lead, but the Kazakhstani rider celebrated a moment too soon and Pogačar snuck up to snatch the win from him.
David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) was the next rider across at four seconds, with Ilnur Zakarin (CCC Team) the only other rider within sight.
Yates continues in the race lead, having six bonus seconds shaved off his advantage over Pogačar he now has 1:01 over the UAE rider with Lutsenko at 1:33.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
