Adam yates declared winner after uae tour abandoned over coronavirus

That's correct! The 2021 UAE Tour was abandoned on February 27, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Adam Yates was declared the winner.

The UAE Tour was the first major cycling event to be affected by the pandemic in 2021. After several riders and staff members tested positive for COVID-19, the organizers decided to abandon the event, citing concerns for the safety and well-being of the participants and staff.

As a result, Adam Yates, who was leading the general classification at the time of the abandonment, was declared the winner of the event. Yates, a British professional cyclist, rides for the Ineos Grenadiers team and had been in the yellow jersey since the second stage of the race.

The abandonment of the UAE Tour marked the first time a major cycling event had been cancelled or abandoned due to the pandemic. It was a significant blow to the cycling calendar, which had been heavily impacted by the pandemic in 2020.
