Tim Merlier wins the fourth stage of the UAE Tour from Dubai Police Officer's Club to Dubai Harbor (168km).
The two-man breakaway formed by Stewart (who consolidates the green jersey) and Vanhoucke is the only noteworthy event, before the final sprint, of a totally flat stage dedicated to the fast wheels.
The final straight is taken in the lead by the Alpecin men, but the first to start is Olav Kooij; Tim Merlier manages to recover in the last hundred meters and achieves his second success in this race, ahead of De Kleijn and Kooij .
Jay Vine keeps the red jersey. Tomorrow another flat stage with a probable sprint finish.
