Alexander Kristoff gets the final Oman stage.
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the final stage.
One, two, and now three victories in a row for Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) on the final stage of the Tour of Oman, traditionally set on the Matrah Corniche! At the end of a sixth stage tackled at a blazing speed, the European champion dominated the final gallop ahead of Bryan Coquard (Vital Concept Cycling Club) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo) on Sunday. Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Pro Team) safely finished with the bunch to claim the overall victory in this ninth edition of the Tour of Oman. His teammate Miguel Angel Lopez and Bahrain-Merida’s Gorka Izagirre join him on the overall podium.
It took 7km of battle for the breakaway to shape up with some usual suspects. Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Floors), Maxime Farazijn (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Xandro Meurisse (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Pim Ligthart (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) and Fabricio Ferrari (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) have all already been at the front this week. They enjoyed a lead of 4’40” after 19km of racing.
Team Dimension Data and Vital Concept Cycling Club got into action to control the gap. 50 kilometres into the stage, the breakaway’s lead was at 3’50”. It steadily decreased with Trek-Segafredo and Katusha-Alpecin also participating in the chase. It was down to 1’15” when the race entered the final circuit on the Matrah Corniche, with three laps of 7.5km.
Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Floors) proved to be the strongest in the break, soloing away from his former companions 10km from the finish. He managed to open a 45” gap as he got into the final lap but was eventually reeled in with 3km to go. The perfect timing for Alexander Kristoff to power to victory. The Norwegian wins his eighth stage at Oman, a record. Alexey Lutsenko kept up with the pack to claim the overall victory.

Saturday, February 17: Stage 5, Sama'il - Jabal Al Akhdhar (Green Mountain), 152 km
Miguel Angel Lopez wins the stage & Alexey Lutsenko takes over the GC lead. Bettini photo
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's competition.
Astana Pro Team put on a show in the queen stage of the Tour of Oman, with Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) claiming victory atop Jabal Al Akhdhar after a strong collective outing on Saturday. His teammate Alexey Lutsenko finished second to take the leader’s jersey from the Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team). The Kazakh team only has one more stage to face en route to the overall victory in the 2018 Tour of Oman.
At the start from Sama’il, a 6km battle led to a 6 man breakaway with Marco Marcato (UAE Team Emirates), Benjamin Declercq (Sport-Vlaanderen Baloise), Pim Ligthart (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij), Nicholas Schultz (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Robin Carpenter and Adam De Vos (Rally Cycling). Their lead rose to 4’20” at km 22 and Vincenzo Nibali’s Bahrain-Merida decided to control the pace en route to Green Mountain.
The Astana show:
Astana Pro Team, Team Dimension Data and Fortuneo-Samsic worked with Bahrain-Merida. But the attackers pushed hard and enjoyed a 5’15” lead as the race entered the last 50km. The gap was down to 1’50” when they tackled Green Mountain (5.7km, 10.5%). Robin Carpenter was then able to hold off the pack until 3km to go.
Astana immediately set a hard pace in the climb, so much that only Gorka Izagirre (Bahrain-Merida) was able to follow Miguel Angel Lopez, Alexey Lutsenko and Jan Hirt with 2.5km to go. ‘Superman’ Lopez then took over and led Alexey Lutsenko to the overall lead while claiming victory for himself. Jesus Herrada (Cofidis, Solutions crédits) finished third, 12” behind the Astana duo.

Friday, February 16: Stage 4, Yiti (Al Sifah) - Ministry of Tourism, 117.5 km
Magnus Cort Nielsen wins stage four.
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.
An explosive stage 4 on the Tour of Oman saw all of the sprinters get dropped on the way to the Ministry of Tourism… except for Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana). The Danish youngster proved that he is more than just a fastman as he hanged on in a 25-man front group before claiming victory ahead of Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida) and Alberto Bettiol (BMC Racing Team). Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) finished 4th to retain the leader’s red jersey on the eve of Green Mountain.
With only 117.5km ahead, the battle for the break was a hard one. Loïc Chetout (Cofidis, Solutions crédits) attacked as soon as the flag dropped. But it took him 5km to get away with Jacques Janse Van Rensburg (Dimension Data), Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Floors), Casper Pedersen (Aqua Blue Sport), Pieter Weening (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) and Jon Irisarri (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA).
BMC Racing Team controlled the gap under 3 minutes and the attackers’ lead was already down to 1 minute when they tackled the main challenges of the days, with three ascents of the climb of Al Jabal Street (Bousher Al Amerat) in the final 50km of the stage. Peter Stetina (Trek-Segafredo) attacked in the penultimate ascent and rode away with Jacques Janse Van Rensburg (Dimension Data) while Katusha-Alpecin were driving the peloton.
Peter Stetina eventually went solo with 18km to go. He was then enjoying a 35” lead but a fierce battle in the last climb ended his move. Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) was the first to go, before his teammate Gorka Izagirre tried to get away. But BMC Racing Team and Astana controlled a reduced pack in the last 13.5km. And Magnus Cort Nielsen proved to be the fastest in order to claim his first victory with his new team.

Thursday, February 15: Stage 3, German University of Technology - Wadi Dayqah Dam, 179.5 km
Greg van Avermaet wins stage three.
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.
The eighth try was the good one for Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team)! After many participations on the Tour of Oman and a place of second on Wednesday, the Olympic champion finally added a victory in the Sultanate to his stellar collection of wins. The Belgian star made the most of a hilly finish on the way to the Wadi Dayqah Dam to dominate Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) and Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Pro Team). With his first win in 2018, he also takes the red leader's jersey from Nathan Haas (Katusha-Alpecin).
Loïc Chetout (Cofidis, Solutions crédits) was determined to shine his golden jersey at the front of the race and accumulate points in the most aggressive rider classification. The Frenchman attacked from the gun and quickly got away with Xandro Meurisse (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Wouter Wippert (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) and Nicholas Schultz (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA). The 4 man breakaway enjoyed a three minute lead after 11km but the Katusha-led peloton quickly reacted to control the gap.
The lead never got higher than 4'30" but Chetout managed to snatch 12 points before getting back to the peloton to remain leader of the most aggressive rider classification. Meurisse and Schultz were the last riders at the front with a lead down to 50" with 27km to go. They eventually got reeled in 21km away from the finish line.
Astana Pro Team set a hard pace in the final climb of the day. The pack was down to 50 riders at the summit (8.5km to go) as the Asian team was setting the place for Alexey Lutsenko. But the Kazakh talent finished once again third while Van Avermaet was flying to victory, opening a 3" gap on the line over Rui Costa and Lutsenko. Nathan Haas finished 5th with a delay of 7".

Wednesday, February 14: Stage 2, Sultan Qaboos University - Al Bustan, 167.5 km
Nathan Haas wins the stage and takes over the GC lead.
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.
Tears of joy could be seen in Nathan Haas’ eyes as the Australian puncheur claimed his first victory with his Katusha-Alpecin kit on Wednesday, at the end of an action-packed stage 2 on the Tour of Oman. After 167.5km of racing from Sultan Qaboos University to Al Bustan, Haas made the most of his explosive abilities to win ahead of the Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team) and Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) and take the lead in the general classification.
The challenges lying ahead, with four categorised climbs, attracted many attackers. It took 5 km of battle for four of them to break away from the bunch: Loïc Chetout (Cofidis, Solutions crédits), Markel Irizar (Trek-Segafredo), Fabricio Ferrari (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and Danny Pate (Rally Cycling). At km 17, their lead reached 4 minutes. It never got higher.
As the attackers tackled the first climb of the day, at Fanja (km 60), the gap had stabilised around 3 minutes. More than enough for Loic Chetout to snatch the points at the summit. The Frenchman repeated the feat atop the climbs of Al Jabal street (km 118.5km) and Al Hamriyah (km 145), en route to claiming the golden jersey as leader of the most aggressive rider classification.
The attackers gave their all in the final part of the stage, the most demanding. But Spanish race veteran Markel Irizar was finally caught in the climb of Al Jissah, with only 5 km to go. BMC Racing Team and Astana Pro Team were then the most active teams at the front of the pack. They couldn’t fend off Nathan Haas as he went for his first victory since August 2016.

Tuesday, February 13: Stage 1, Nizwa - Sultan Qaboos University, 162.5 km
Bryan Coquard (blue jersey) gets the 2018 Oman Tour's first stage.
The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:
Bryan Coquard (Vital Concept) can forget about his early season frustrations - the French sprinter came out on top at the end of stage 1 of the Tour of Oman to claim his first victory with his new team. After 162.5km of racing on the beautiful roads of the Sultanate, between Nizwa and Sultan Qaboos University, a Sunny Tuesday saw Coquard storm to victory ahead of Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo). He also leads the general and points classifications. A beautiful birthday present for his teammate Kris Boeckmans!
Maxime Farazijn (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Pierre Luc Perichon (Fortuneo-Samsic), Conor Dunne (Aqua Blue Sport) and Brian Van Goethem (Roomport-Nederlandse Loterij) jumped out of the peloton from the gun. They quickly opened a 4’30” gap, only 15km into the stage. Team Cofidis and Team Sunweb were the first to react and set the pace at the front of the pack. UAE Team Emirates and Bahrain-Merida then joined them to ensure a bunch gallop in front of Sultan Qaboos University.
With a gap down to 2 minutes for final 50km, the leaders’ chances to battle it out in the final appeared slim. They eventually got reeled in with 9km to go, after Pierre Luc Perichon sealed the lead in the most aggressive rider classification. It was then time for the sprinters and most of all Bryan Coquard to shine.
