Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2024 , February 9-14

[Lequack]

This is a race of two parts. First part is the Muscat Classic, a one day race on February 9, followed by 5 stages of Tour of Oman. Startlist should be the same for both races.

It's like UAE Tour, but with actual hills and mountains instead of a flat desert. Should make for a better viewing.
A lot of riders will rider both this race and UAE Tour afterwards.

Notable riders: Adam Yates, Kristoff, Coquard, Ulissi, rota, Herrada, Jakobsen, Ewan

I am surprised so many sprinters are riding this race - Stage one will be a sprint, but the rest are tough stages. It is possible like Ewan or Kristoffon a good day could make one other final but they'll need luck.

Maybe they mistook it for UAE Tour. Wrong desert race fools!

 

[Lequack]

Just some pals. Kristoff literally in flip flops.

 

[Red Rick]

Oman should have UAE's WT status

 

[Samamba]

Somewhat surprisingly no block headwind on Al Jissah tomorrow so there will probably be some splits this time.

Tour of Oman is to the Middle East mini-season what the Tour of Utah was to the US calendar.

I was going to say this, except I don't think they have the slightest chance on stages 2-5.

Obviously I hope desperately for a great result by Fausto Masnada in either race. I even think if the stars align he could win both

Adam Yates my friend... stage 3 and 5 is for Yates

Everybody wants a piece of the Topcat classic.

Last year there were some local streams. I don't know about this year. I would like to watch it, too. Its a better route then Saudi and UAE.

Edit: tiz-cycling is on with a local stream

 

[Roku]

I guess A.Yates will drop everyone on the last hill. On the contrary, I could see a first pro win for Busatto.

It won't happen, but it would be really funny if one of these three won because the peloton decided to give them a 12.5-minute head start.

Gap is down to 8:30 with 100km to go, so it's under control
Head of peloton is strung out in one long line. Are those in front Cofidis?

 

[tobydawq]

I think these guys could have gotten 25 minutes and still not been a huge problem to catch.
