The **2022 UAE Tour** was a [road cycling](/source/Road_bicycle_racing) [stage race](/source/Cycling_stage_race) that took place between 20 and 26 February 2022 in the [United Arab Emirates](/source/United_Arab_Emirates). It was the fourth edition of the [UAE Tour](/source/UAE_Tour) and the opening race of the [2022 UCI World Tour](/source/2022_UCI_World_Tour).[1][2]

## Teams

All but one of the 18 [UCI WorldTeams](/source/UCI_WorldTeam), and three [UCI ProTeams](/source/UCI_Professional_Continental), make up the 20 teams that are participating in the race.[3][4] [Cofidis](/source/Cofidis_(cycling_team)), the only UCI WorldTeam to not be participating in the race, declined their invitation, citing a full schedule.[5] [Alpecin–Fenix](/source/Alpecin%E2%80%93Premier_Tech) and [Arkéa–Samsic](/source/Ark%C3%A9a%E2%80%93B%26B_Hotels) received automatic invitations as the best performing UCI ProTeams in the 2021 season,[6][7] but only the former accepted their invitation. The other two UCI ProTeams, [Bardiani–CSF–Faizanè](/source/Bardiani%E2%80%93CSF_7_Saber) and [Gazprom–RusVelo](/source/Gazprom%E2%80%93RusVelo), were selected by [RCS Sport](/source/RCS_Sport), the race organisers.[8]

With many teams experiencing positive [COVID-19](/source/COVID-19) test results and having to withdraw riders and staff from competition,[9] only 10 teams were able to enter a full squad of seven riders, with a further seven teams entering six riders each. [Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux](/source/Intermarch%C3%A9%E2%80%93Wanty) and [Trek–Segafredo](/source/Lidl%E2%80%93Trek_(men's_team)) were only able to enter five riders each, while [Lotto–Soudal](/source/Lotto%E2%80%93Intermarch%C3%A9) was the only team to enter a squad of four riders. Gazprom–RusVelo also had one late non-starter, reducing their squad to six riders. In total, 125 riders started the race, of which 122 finished.[10][11]
