Overview
- Issac Del Toro attacked twice on Jebel Hafeet, distancing Antonio Tiberi with 2.5 km to go to win Stage 6 for his second victory of the week.
- Luke Plapp finished second at 12 seconds with Felix Gall third at 21 seconds, while Tiberi crossed fourth after losing contact on the final ramps.
- Del Toro now leads the general classification by 20 seconds over Tiberi, with Plapp third at 1:40, heading to an Abu Dhabi sprint stage unlikely to alter the standings.
- Tiberi had taken the red jersey on the earlier Jebel Mobrah summit finish as Remco Evenepoel lost roughly two minutes; Evenepoel is now 10th overall after placing 15th on Stage 6.
- Jonathan Milan dominated the sprints with wins on Stages 4 and 5, crediting Lidl–Trek’s control; his brother Matteo placed third on Stage 4 before crashing on the final corner in Friday’s finish.
