Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2025 , February 7-12

[tobydawq]

The Tour of Oman is to bike races in the Middle East what the Tour of Utah was to bike races in the USA.

Comes with less bluster and less self-promotion, but consistently delivers better racing.

The day GC Kuss was born.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The day GC Kuss was born.

That was Kuss pre-2020 stage 6 tdf interview to be fair, a different time before his heel-turn.

 

[Potomac]

That's an impressive winners list.

 

[Rockestar_33]

Interested to see how Uijtdebroeks goes. Should be able to podium here.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Another UAE win with Yates.

 

[Cookster15]

Adam Yates with UAE will win this bike race.

 

[Berniece]

Interested to see how Uijtdebroeks goes. Should be able to podium here.

I forgot this was his first race. I'm looking forward to see if he's finally able to push his numbers again, and is completely recovered. Don't see him win from A. Yates, but like you said, podium should definitely be feasible.

 

[pablohidalgo7]

Nordhagen to destroy both, Yates and Uijtdebroecks, well at least the last one

 

[RedheadDane]

1	127	WALLIN Rasmus Bøgh
2	146	MOHD ZARIFF Muhammad Nur Aiman
3	147	VAN ENGELEN Adne

Peloton at 7 minutes.
Still well over 100 Ks to go.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Nordhagen is ill way too often. Weak genes, no immune system whatsoever.

they have live coverage indeed. Muscat Classic is on.

 

[Lequack]

Just for everyone, today is a one day race, so should in theory be raced a bit different than a stage race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wallin not getting a whole lot of cover behind Van Engelen...

 

[Tim Cahill]

This guy on comms goes on a lot doesn't he, the Omani Kirby, Diego Ulissi shall win today alhamdulillah!

[Lequack]

These scenery is pretty nice, much better than the UAE Tour flat desert. And the steep climbs are pretty brutal.

Nordhagen is ill way too often. Weak genes, no immune system whatsoever.

Ya, it seems like something he really needs to take precautions about. Isolate more perhaps.

 

[RedheadDane]

Problems with the feed... hopefully it'll get fixed.

Problems with the feed... hopefully it'll get fixed.

I thought they just decided to talk about the race instead of showing it.

 

[Lequack]

UAE really drilling it now.

 

[Lequack]

If Pog is going to UAE Tour, Visma should've brought Vingegaard to Oman.

Here are the favorites

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE might've hoped to get rid of a few more people, not much fatigue in the legs here so will be hard for Yates to get separation last climb.

 

[Lequack]

Some strong attacks going now

 

[Netserk]

Between Vine and Harper, hopefully.
