Nicolás Cavigliasso, the winner in 2019 but absent last year, confirmed that he is aiming to retake his crown by winning in Wadi Ad-Wasir. Thanks to his first stage victory of the year, the Argentinean has closed in on Enrico and Giroud in the general standings.

“Today was a good day for me. I started third and finished first. I am waiting for more riders to arrive, but maybe I've won the stage. At CP1 I had a problem with the muffler and it broke. On the last fifteen kilometres I had to slow down because I didn’t want to break the muffler more, but I’m so happy with today’s stage”.
