Team Visma | Lease a Bike brought Olav Kooij to the Tour of Oman this week and it proved to be a good choice. The Dutch sprinter has dominated the competition in both bunch sprints, and comfortably won stage 4 today.

The flat stage was a day for the sprinters without a doubt, and without the wind blowing it'd also be a calm one. Olav Kooij won the opening stage of the race and was the man to beat for this one as well, but Team Visma | Lease a Bike also had the help of Soudal - Quick-Step and UAE Team Emirates - XRG to chase down the escapee group.

Muhammad Haizam Mohd Shabri, Abdulrahman Alyaqoobi and Kongphob Thimachai formed the day's breakaway, The latter went solo with 49 kilometers to go, dropping his companions but also making the peloton's chase easier - the catch was ultimately made with just under 10 kilometers to go.

Uno-X Mobility led the way into the final rather uphill sprint and Erlend Blikra was the first to launch the sprint. But Olav Kooij was right in his wheel, and when the Dutchman launched his sprint there was nothing to do. It was a second stage win this week, beating Giacomo Nizzolo and Orluis Aular.
