LUXEMBOURG, 21st September, 2025 (WAM) -- UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Brandon McNulty powered to an impressive second place in today's individual time trial at the Tour de Luxembourg, a result that elevated him into the overall race lead with just one stage remaining.
Teammate Nils Politt also delivered a fine performance, placing 7th on the stage, as Ethan Hayter (Soudal-Quickstep) took an impressive victory.
The Stage 4 time trial, covering 26.3km around Niederanven, featured rolling terrain and a technical finale. McNulty executed a near-perfect ride, finishing 27 seconds behind stage winner Hayter. His effort propelled him into the yellow leader's jersey, positioning UAE Team Emirates-XRG at the head of the general classification with one decisive stage still to come.
McNulty said, "Being in the leader's jersey is always nice. It was a hard TT, but I executed my plan on the road and today there was just one guy stronger. Tomorrow, I think we can set out to defend the jersey and we have a strong team to do that. It's an advantage for us to have some brilliant teammates at the race."
