Pogacar extends overall leadership at UAE tour – sports mix

Top favorite Tadej Pogacar has extended his overall lead on the UAE tour in the United Arab Emirates.

 The  Tour de France winner from Slovenia triumphed in the first of two mountain finishes in the World Tour race on Tuesday and is now 43 seconds ahead of Brit Adam Yates.

 The  best Austrian on the 1,031 m high Jebel Hafeet in the east of the country was the Lower Austrian Patrick Konrad, who lost five minutes on Pogacar in 42nd place.

In the overall standings, Konrad, the eighth of the last Giro d’Italia, is also 42nd after three stages. Four sections are still missing in the first major stage race of the year.

 The  decision about the overall victory should be made on Thursday with the second mountain arrival on Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the Emirates.
