Dutchman Theo Bos crashed and abandoned in stage two, but left the Abu Dhabi Tour and the United Arab Emirates overnight with a smile on his face thanks to a local's help.

Bos fell with Tom Boonen (Etixx-Quick Step) and MTN-Qhubeka team-mate Songezo Jim around 60km into stage two. He abandoned with a large cut on his elbow, which doctors at the hospital were unable to stitch due to the type of injury.
