After a round of COVID-19 testing on 21 February returned a positive result for an {{UCI team code|AFC|2021}} staff member, the entire team, including overnight race leader Mathieu van der Poel, withdrew from the race. Consequently, David Dekker, who was second overall, wore the red jersey of the leader of the general classification on Stage 2. He was due to wear the white jersey of the leader of the young rider classification, but that jersey was worn by Tadej Pogačar, who was third in the young rider classification, as the second-placed young rider, João Almeida, wore the green jersey of the leader of the points classification, which had also been led by van der Poel. Almeida had been leading the sprints classification, so the black jersey was worn by second-placed Mattia Cattaneo.{{cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-der-poel-and-alpecin-fenix-exit-uae-tour-due-to-coronavirus-case/|title=Van der Poel and Alpecin-Fenix exit UAE Tour due to coronavirus case|publisher=CyclingNews|date=22 February 2021|access-date=22 February 2021}}

  • On stage 2, David Dekker, who was second in the general classification, wore the red jersey, because first-placed Mathieu van der Poel had withdrawn from the race after an {{UCI team code|AFC|2021}} staff member tested positive for COVID-19. Dekker, who was first in the young rider classification, was originally supposed to wear the white jersey, but it was instead worn by third-placed Tadej Pogačar, as second-placed João Almeida wore the green jersey as the temporary leader of the points classification, which had also been led by van der Poel.
  • On stages 2 and 3, Mattia Cattaneo, who was second in the sprints classification, wore the black jersey, because first-placed João Almeida wore the green jersey.
  • On stages 3 and 4, Neilson Powless, who was third in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey, because first-placed Tadej Pogačar wore the red jersey as the leader of the general classification, while second-placed João Almeida wore the green jersey on stage 3 and the black jersey on stage 4. For the same reasons, on stage 4, Filippo Ganna, who is third in the points classification, wore the green jersey.
  • On stages 5 to 7, João Almeida, who was second in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey, because first-placed Tadej Pogačar wore the red jersey as the leader of the general classification. For the same reason, on stage 6, David Dekker, who was second in the points classification, wore the green jersey.
