'Maybe I had the legs to come around' - Fisher-Black unsure of how UAE Tour finish could have played out but 'form is probably the best it's ever been'

Finn Fisher-Black demonstrated remarkable form during the UAE Tour, finishing third in a tough uphill sprint, behind Jonathan Milan. Despite his solid performance, he expressed frustration over not having enough space to push ahead. Fisher-Black, who recently switched teams to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, has showcased his potential early in the season with podium finishes, including a national title. He emphasized that the stage, perceived as a likely sprint finish by many, had characteristics that could lead to unexpected outcomes, allowing for surprise attacks from riders like him.

In the final, it was a bit annoying, I had nowhere to go really. I was kind of stuck between Jasper [Philipsen] and Milan but... might have had the legs to come around.

Everyone was saying it was like a nailed-on sprint day but I knew... it was one of those days that could go either way. You can kind of almost take advantage when everyone is so sure.
