The victory is Hayter’s first of the 2026 season, his best result to date coming back on his second race day as he finished fourth in the UAE Tour time trial at Al Hudayriyat Island.

Hayter recently completed the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, but won’t take part in the Tour de France next month. Instead, his main late-season goal looks set to be the Vuelta a España.

“It’s my second consecutive title and my first victory of the season, so obviously, I’m happy to be on the podium and know that I will keep the jersey for one more year,” Hayter told his Soudal-QuickStep team after the race.

“I liked this course a lot, and as soon as I left the start house, I found my rhythm and kept it the entire time, which shows that I came here with strong legs. We’ll see what I can do on Sunday, when I’m ready to give everything again.”
