Marcel Kittel, the German cyclist for the Quick-Step Floors team has just taken home the gold medal for the 2017 Dubai Cycling Tour.

The Tour has proved a huge success again this year, despite the event having to postpone an entire day due to some extreme weather conditions, and the controversy of Andriy Grivko being disqualified for punching the eventual winner in the face.

This is the race’s forth year and the final stages of the race took off today at Dubai International Marine Club and finished up at City Walk. You’ve probably noticed the road closures around the city, here’s what the cyclists have been getting up to:

1. Marc Cavendish, Marcel Kittel and other cyclists ahead of the race

2. Marcel Kittel takes the win after the first stage

3. Riders met harsh race conditions on day three
