- Matt Winston (Team DSM coach): "We're looking forward to tackling our first WorldTour level race of the year at the UAE Tour. The seven stages offer a variety of terrain for us to contend with, including several sprint opportunities, a time trial and two mountain top finishes on stage four and seven; although like a lot of races in the region, the wind can also be a factor in the more exposed areas. We go with a team prepared for the lead outs in the sprints and we also have some really solid options for the two stages with a mountain top finish, where we will chase day results and take each stage as it comes."

Luckily my body was ready for this effort today. It’s a fantastic result for me and for the team. It was a bit strange to ride in the desert and it’s my first time at the UAE Tour. It’s hard to ride at 55 or 56km/h but I’m really happy today."

- Kevin Colleoni (Team BikeExchange) before the start of the 2021 UAE Tour: "I can’t be happier to begin my experience as a Pro rider with Team BikeExchange with a WorldTour race such as UAE Tour. I am really excited, and I have been training a lot for it in the last weeks. I have studied the stages but of course only once we are in the race, we will know how to approach each single day. There will not be a selected leader for this race for our Team, for this reason it will be important to see as a team how the first half of the tour will go and then we can adjust our strategy for the second half in order to achieve the best result for our team."

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 4: "I started my sprint from the 7th position which was maybe a little bit too far behind, that's why I was blocked in in the end. I can still be happy with my form, I'm now looking forward to more sprint finishes here at the UAE Tour."

- Stage 4 winner Dylan Groenewegen (Jumbo-Visma) following the stage: "This is a very good win. I am very pleased.  I beat the world’s best sprinters today. This is a really sweet victory. In the first stage I probably had the fastest sprint of all, but I was not well positioned. That meant I had to come from too far. Today it was a totally different sprint. The boys did a perfect lead-out. It was a hectic final, but everyone really had his share in my stage win. They all went flat-out. We decided to move up to the front in the last three kilometres because of the strong headwind. Christoph (Pfingsten) has the eye to put me in the best position for the sprint. Then I perfectly timed my sprint. I am happy that I was able to finish off the team’s work."

- Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) won Stage 3 and took over the race lead.

- Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal) won Stage 2 and is new overall leader.

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 2: "Today was a really tough day in the saddle. I had some problems with the heat and didn’t feel very well but I still tried to go for a good result. Unfortunately, the pace in the final was too fast for me that’s why I couldn't keep up with the front group on the long climb ten kilometres before the finish line. When I got dropped, I took it a bit easier to save energy for the upcoming stages. I would like to thank my teammates for supporting me, I’ll do my best to get back on the winning track again."

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-HANSGROHE) won Stage 1 and is first leader in the general classification.

- Deceuninck-Quickstep roster for the 2020 UAE Tour:

Shane Archbold (NZL)
Sam Bennett (IRL)
Mattia Cattaneo (ITA)
James Knox (GBR)
Michael Mørkøv (DEN)
Pieter Serry (BEL)
Stijn Steels (BEL)
Sports Directors:
Klaas Lodewyck (BEL)
Geert Van Bondt (BEL)

- Geert Van Bondt (Deceuninck-Quickstep directeur sportif): "The number one goal is to win a stage and in Sam we have one of the favourites. He showed in Australia that he is in shape and we are really looking forward to the bunch gallops and our colourful lead-out train featuring Shane and Michael, while at the same time being aware it won’t be easy, as many top sprinters are at the start.  James has had a good start to the season in Valencia and we all remember his solid and impressive ride that helped him crack the top 10 overall last year at the UAE Tour, which would be nice if it were to happen again. The Jebel Hafeet climb suits him, but we’re not putting any pressure, we’ll just see how it goes. Mattia can also do a good race, while Pieter and Stijn will be there to help the team control the race."

- Andrey Amador, who joined Team INEOS on a 3-year deal, will make his debut with the team at the UAE Tour.  "Who wouldn’t be excited to sign with Team INEOS? I’m very happy to be part of this great Team. I have spent all of my sporting career with Movistar and I owe them a lot – but I felt now is the right time in my career to seek some new motivations. This is a new challenge and I will give everything I have for this Team.  Everyone can see there is a strong unit at this Team – there is an impressive bunch of riders and staff.  I’m excited to be part of this group, joining alongside Richard Carapaz. I’m happy we can continue to ride together after what were able to do with Movistar at the Giro d’Italia."
