PREVIEW | Muscat Classic 2024 - Adam Yates and Finn FIsher-Black see UAE as the team to beat
Cycling
Preview. On the 9th of February the peloton races the Muscat Classic. Created in 2023, the Omani classic anticipates the Tour of Oman with a race that is open for many riders.
The 173-kilometer race follows some climbs that the Tour of Oman traditionally races through. A hilly one-day race, where the puncheurs and classics riders will mainly thrive. The riders face five hilltops before the ascent to Al Jissah which is a kilometer above 9%. The race features these walls where attacks may come. The final ascent ends with just 5.5 kilometers to go before a very fast downhill, and a slight uphill sprint to the line.
