The second edition of the Dubai Tour rolls out on Wednesday February 5, marking the start of a month in the desert for pro cycling’s elite.

While the WorldTour does not resume until March, this month is packed with a high-quality programme of racing from Dubai, Qatar and Oman.

And you can catch the first of those three races live on British Eurosport as Mark Cavendish and John Degenkolb bid for sprinting supremacy on the oil-rich emirate.

Eurosport will show all four stages live, with regular highlights shows later in the day.

Alongside Cavendish, Team Sky new boy Elia Viviani will be hoping for success while Tour de France champion Vincenzo Nibali is among the GC men kicking off his season in Dubai.

Last year’s inaugural edition provided plenty of glitz and glamour, alongside an intriguing four days of racing which saw crosswinds play a big part in proceedings.

And if you want to catch this year’s race – which has been designed to be tougher this year and reflect its 2.HC classification – check out the full TV schedule below.
