CyclingWednesday, 15 February 2023 at 10:37
Mauri Vansevenant won the last and the most difficult stage of Tour of Oman. The Soudal-Quick-Step rider was the best climbing the Jabal Al Akhdhar (also known as Green Mountain) that has 5.7 km at 10%. Mauri followed Matteo Jorgenson attack on the last 300 meters and counter with one of his own that granted him the stage.
5 riders went a escape along the majority of the stage, being caught around 4 kilometres to the end. In the beggining of the Green Mountain Intermarchรฉ-Circus-Wanty set the pace, reducing a lot of the peloton into the group of general classification favourites.

On the last 2 km Rein Taaramae(Intermarchรฉ-Circus-Wanty) launched a powerful attack only followed by race leader Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar team), Mauri Vansevenant( Soudal-Quick-Step) and Geoffrey Bouchard (AG2R Citroรซn Team). Latter Taaramae was dropped and the other 3 were the strongest, fighting for the stage and GC win.
In the end Mauri Vansevenant managed to beat on an uphill sprint Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar Team) and Geoffrey Bouchard (AG2R Citroรซn Team) who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Despite Vansevenant stage win, race leader Matteo Jorgenson controlled the situation well and secure his overall classification win, becoming the first ever stage race overall victory for the young North-American of Movistar Team.

- it is too simple to base improvement on points alone. Quick-Step lost a lot of points but might gain more wins and are shifting their focus. Juan Ayuso might be addition by subtraction. and Ineos picked up a lot of points. Onley gets a boatload for being 4th in the Tour. but whoโs racing for 4th place?!?!?mij11-01-2026
- All very sad. But you seem to be backing the journalists in generally demonising Tadej and canonising Jonas. This article is interesting though, and suggests Jonas is making very good financial decisions, acquiring luxury homes that he and his family are enjoying living in, and staying near family (also now in luxury homes) who can help with the kids. Sounds like a great lifestyle, and not a basis for critising Pog's decisions.Hills3311-01-2026
- Anyone who thinks the Giro is a training camp for the Tour, for Vingegaard, is not right in the head. First of all, he is not Pogacar and secondly, UAE will send almost A team to make Jonas life miserable and make the race difficult. If the danish fisherman competes in Giro, his chances drop from 20 to 2 percent. I also read some foolish statements that the 2026 Tour is against Pogi and I'm dying of laughter. 2026 is the most ideal Tour that Pogi will ever ride. Not a single stage is difficult except 20st. Everything else is made for UAE to control. Every mountain stage has 30-40km of easy terrain before the last climb.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- it doesnโt matter what Jonas is doing with the houses, the article is trash. and the fact that he is buying houses in Denmark with no criticism makes everyoneโs point all the stronger. it is Tadejโs life. he isnโt breaking the law. he can live where he wishes how he wishes. and his โsideโ isnโt quoted, which especially irks me. it makes it sound as if he is living in Monaco just to cheat taxes. maybe he is there because it is an ideal training base year round. or any other number or reasons. and, it happens to be a good financial decision.mij11-01-2026
- Unbelievably I remember people saying 2024 Pogi was avoiding Jonas by riding the Giro. Seriously why wouldnโt Jonas ride the Giro? Only GT he hasnโt won. Itโs a pretty obvious and logical move.mobk11-01-2026
- it must suck to have to admit that the time to win is only going to be a result of someone elseโs retirement, not improved skill or speed.mij11-01-2026

- I assume Plapp will be about as popular as a fart in a gas mask this season on the team bus. What an absolute clown shoe. Attacking his own team-mate with a lap and a half to go, bringing back his rivals with you, then fluffing it yourself to let the other guy win. Youโd assume that if they had race radios, the DS would be telling Plapp to stop p*sing on Durboโs chips, but at the same time youโd also expect a World Tour rider to understand this kind of basic racecraft. Felt like watching Dwars with Nielsen Powless and Visma. Hats off to the winner though, and him sledging his former team for giving him the boot, haha. Unreal scenes.antipodeanpedalfan11-01-2026
- You can write the same article replacing JV with a whole bunch of names. Every race needs competitors and wants the best they can get. Jonas has a Vuelta, 2 Tours and no Giro, you said it yourself so - Go figure. Has he ruled out the Tour? Am convinced if Tadej decides to do the Giro, Jonas wonโt cancel, itโs nothing to do with dodging, itโs about deciding for himself and not living for others. Jonas has offered plenty of competition to Tadej, itโs not his only purpose or obligation. Had there not been a Tadej, heโd be considered one of the too 3 GT riders ever, heโs just a bit unlucky not to clearly be ahead of Froome and no other recent rider comes close, though Rogliรง might have given him a good run if not in the same team.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
