In partnership with Dubai Sports Council, the build-up to the 2022 Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge continued on Saturday as cyclists completed their third Build-Up Ride of the series to close out preparations for 2021, with the main challenge set to kick-off in February 2022.<\/p>\n
At the beloved Al-Qudra track in Dubai, over 400 athletes cycled through the 66km course to complete the third Build-Up Ride in the series leading up to the main 92km race on Saturday 19 February 2022.<\/p>\n
In the day\u2019s rides, Andrey Demekhin and Tatiana Bruman took first place on the 66km course. Demekhin finished in 1:32.25 in the men\u2019s category, with Bruman completing Saturday\u2019s ride in 1:40.37 to stand top of the podium in the women\u2019s category.<\/p>\n
The competition for this year\u2019s coveted yellow jersey in the DUBAI BIG 5 continues to bring surprises with strong performances across the peloton. Ian Martin will wear the men\u2019s yellow jersey going into the fourth Build-up Ride, followed closely by Gregory Simpson and Josh Salvatus in the current standings. In the female category, Babita Khatri will wear the leader\u2019s jersey ahead of Elmira Pelovello going into the final Build-Up Ride on Sunday 23rd January.<\/p>\n
In an exciting development for new cyclists keen to get involved in the short course, Organisers have revealed that the 2022 challenge will see the introduction of the Learn to Ride Programme, a free to enter 90-minute clinic for new cyclists to build their understanding and skills on the bike in a fun, safe environment.<\/p>\n
Launching for the first time on 23rd January alongside the final Build-Up Ride for the 2022 challenge, Organisers have encouraged anyone aged 13 and up to register for this expert-led experience.<\/p>\n
With only one Build-Up Ride of 85km in January remaining before the main race on 19th February 2022, cyclists eager to join in the fun can find more information on how to sign up for the main 92km challenge or to register for the new Learn to Ride Programme at www.cyclechallenge.ae<\/p>\n
