The second Women's WorldTour stage race of the season takes place February 6-9 in the warm weather of United Arab Emirates for a third edition of UAE Tour Women. The race provides three days for sprinters and the signature mountaintop finish at Jebel Hafeet.
Last year world champion Lotte Kopeky (SD Worx-Protime) hoisted the trophy with the GC victory, which sparked her dominance in the spring Classics. Kopecky's teammate Lorena Wiebes earned a pair of stage victories to earn the sprint classification.
SD Worx-Protime returns in 2025 and faces a peloton filled with all 15 WorldTour squads and four ProTeams and one Continental squad.
All four stages have increased in distance for a total of 540km, 15% more kilometres than last year. Three flat stages return for a showdown of top sprinters on the opening two days and the final day in Abu Dhabi. Stage 3 is where climbers leave their marks on final 10km, with Jebel Hafeet serving 8-9% average gradients to the finish line.
