Abu Dhabi: Kittel wins stage 2 in photo finish

Marcel Kittel stole a victory at the end of Friday’s stage 2 at the Abu Dhabi Tour.

Kittel (Quick-Step Floors), Caleb Ewan (Orica-Scott), and Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) crossed the finish line at virtually the same moment, but closer inspection revealed that Kittel finished first by less than half of his front wheel.

Ewan, who actually started to raise his arms in celebration after he crossed the finish line, took second. Cavendish, the winner of Thursday’s stage 1, claimed third.

Cavendish remains the overall race leader entering Saturday’s stage 3, with Kittel and Andre Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) 4 and 8 seconds behind in second and third.

“Our plan was to leave it late today. It was a strange finale and I surfed from wheel to wheel, saving up some energy,” Kittel said. “I really believed in this victory until the very end, and getting it the way I did makes things very nice, just as in Dubai two weeks ago.”

Friday’s win was Kittel’s fifth of 2017 and Quick-Step’s 13th. Kittel made headlines Friday morning when he rolled to the start line with a bike outfitted with standard rim brakes after Thursday’s incident that saw Owain Doull crash and claim that one of Kittel’s disc brake rotors sliced through his shoe.

Kittel said Friday’s win was extra special after the crash took him out of Thursday’s finish.

“On stage 1 I lost the chance to fight for the victory, but also some skin, so today I was keen on making the most out of this opportunity,” said Kittel, who will make his 2017 European debut at Paris-Nice next week.

Kittel now has 11 wins at Middle Eastern races.

The 153-kilometer stage 2 around Abu Dhabi was pancake flat, with a few small bumps in the middle of the route.

Six riders broke away early in the stage and rode ahead of the peloton in windy conditions that nearly led to the formation of echelons. As the final kilometers ticked away, the six escapees were caught. The final two — Nicola Boem (Bardiani-CSF) and Alessandro De Marchi (BMC Racing) — saw their day out front come to an end with around 2.5km to go.

From that point, the sprint finish was on. Kittel came around Ewan as a large group approached the finish line and was able to throw his bike to victory.

Saturday’s stage 3 measures 186km and ends with a 10km ascent of Jebel Hafeet.
