Tour of Oman 2024 🇴🇲 – Stage 4 – Fanja – Yitti Hills : 104 km
The Tour of Oman is an annual professional road bicycle racing stage race held in Oman since 2010, as part of the UCI Asia Tour through 2019 and on the UCI ProSeries since 2022. During the race, the leader of the General Classification wears a red jersey, the leader of sprinter’s points classification is denoted by a green jersey and best young rider by white. The race does not contain a mountains jersey. The most aggressive rider wears a white jersey with green and red polka-dots.
Amaury Capiot (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels) claimed an emotional victory at the Tour of Oman after a year hampered by injury.
The Belgian sprinter survived the late rolling climbs that were packed into the shortened 104 km stage from Fanja to Yitti Hills and hit the rising finish line just ahead of Ide Schelling (Astana Qazaqstan) and Davide De Pretto (Jayco AlUla).
Finn Fisher-Black (UAE Team Emirates) secured a three-second time bonus at an intermediate sprint and then finished in the same time as the front group to take the leader’s jersey from Luke Lamperti (Soudal Quick-Step) before the decisive final stage to Jabal Al Akhdhar (Green Mountain).
The mountain finish traditionally crowns the overall race winner, with the 22-year-old Kiwi rider leading his biggest by a handful of seconds.
