Amaury Capiot wins stage 4 of Tour of Oman - Belgian outsprints Schelling and De Pretto after shortened stage
Cycling
Stage 4 of the Tour of Oman was another day of racing ending early in the morning, with race organizers having cut the stage due to difficult weather conditions. The riders raced on, and it was Amaury Capiot who took the win, and Arkéa -B&B Hotels' second triumph of the season.
Matteo Malucelli, Blake Quick and Rasmus Bogh Wallin formed the day's breakaway on the 104-kilometer stage, it was not a move that was too dangerous and they were reeled in before the final hilltops where the day would be decided.
Emanuel Buchmann and Adam Yates were among those attacking the race and trying to make the difference uphill, but the climbs were not hard enough to do so. Eventually it came down to a sprint amongst a group of around 50 riders, and there Amaury Capiot was the fastest towards the finish line, beating Ide Schelling and Davide de Pretto - whilst Finn Fisher-Black jumped back into the race lead.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
