Tiberi won the summit finish at Jebel Mobrah, taking the lead as Evenepoel dropped to 11th, 1 minute 21 seconds behind, with Del Toro moving into second overall.

  • On February 18, 2026, Antonio Tiberi won Stage 3 at Jebel Mobrah and took the red jersey from Remco Evenepoel after the summit finish.

  • With the race moving to Fujairah on Thursday, the peloton prepares for a Stage 4 sprint, and Tiberi's first win since the 2024 Tour de Luxembourg.
