Description
The final stage of the 2026 UAE Tour Women is a 156-kilometer trek from Al Ain to the summit of Jebel Hafeet. The strategic narrative for this "Queen Stage" focuses on the shift from flat, windy desert plains to a single, brutal 10.8-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 7% and sections peaking at 11%. For three days, the sprinters have dictated the pace, but Jebel Hafeet serves as the ultimate judge, stripping away the team lead-out trains and leaving the general classification contenders in a raw battle of power-to-weight ratios.
The headline story is whether the pure climbers can overturn Lorena Wiebes’ lead. Strategically, the approach to the base of the climb at Green Mubazzarah is critical; teams like UAE Team ADQ and Canyon//SRAM zondacrypto are expected to set a high tempo to isolate rivals before the road tilts upward. All eyes are on defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini, who thrives on the hairpin turns of this mountain, and Katarzyna Niewiadoma, who seeks to use her explosive climbing style to secure her first overall victory in the Emirates.

Result Description
Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) delivered a masterclass on Jebel Hafeet to win Stage 4 and secure her third overall title at the UAE Tour Women. After three days of sprint dominance by Lorena Wiebes, the Italian champion reclaimed the spotlight on the race’s only summit finish. Longo Borghini launched a decisive solo attack with 2.5 kilometers remaining, distancing a stubborn Katarzyna Niewiadoma to cross the line alone in 4:13:04. The victory allowed her to leapfrog the sprinters in the standings and win the fourth edition of the race by a 16-second margin.
The stage was a war of attrition once the peloton hit the lower slopes of the climb. UAE Team ADQ took total control of the pace, shedding the overnight leader Wiebes early on. While Niewiadoma and Monica Trinca Colonel (Liv AlUla Jayco) attempted to match Longo Borghini's accelerations, the Italian veteran proved unmatched in the final kilometer. Trinca Colonel produced a career-best performance to finish second on the stage, followed closely by Femke de Vries (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), who rounded out both the stage and final podium. Longo Borghini’s emotional victory, dedicated to a lost friend, confirms her status as the undisputed queen of the Jebel Hafeet ascent.
