Abu Dhabi: Costa wins mountain stage, takes overall lead

Abu Dhabi (AFP) – Portugal’s Rui Costa dropped all comers up the 12km Jebel Hafeet mountain Saturday to claim the third stage of the Tour of Abu Dhabi and take a firm grip on the overall lead.

The former world champion stands a great chance of overall victory as Sunday’s final stage runs 26 laps around the perfect tarmac of the Yas Marina Formula One circuit, a stage which is likely to end in a bunch sprint.

The 30-year-old is showing powerful early season form after also coming second in the Tour of Oman.

Costa signed with the Abu Dhabi team in the close season and rewarded their confidence here by dropping final rival Ilnur Zakarin over the last few metres, with Dutch ace Tom Dumoulin in third at 10 seconds.

Earlier on the climb pre-stage favourites and major Tour winners Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana had neutralised each other’s attempts to get away before Costa sprung his burst of speed on a steep section.

Of the other top climbers Bauke Mollema was fourth at 28 seconds and Fabio Aru sixth at 46, while Quintana was 10th and Contador ended 13th.

“I started the final climb a long way back and I had to put a lot of effort in to reach the front of the peloton,” explained Costa after the race. “When I got there I realised that my legs were good and I tried to surprise the others with an attack from a long way out. That was the right tactic.

“I was still suffering from the initial effort so I saved myself with Zakarin at the end to recuperate for the final sprint.”

According to Costa, the victory was a much-needed boost to both himself and the team.

“For us, it was very important to have a great result here,” he admitted. “I can’t say I was under pressure but psychologically I knew we had to perform at our best.

“We won and there couldn’t be a better result,” Costa continued. “We are extremely happy for this victory here in Abu Dhabi, with a new sponsor and a brand new jersey.

“I’m very happy with this victory that will boost my morale for the remainder of the season.
