From the 11th to the 15th of February racing will resume in the Middle East, with the traditional Tour of Oman bringing an interesting set of stages that will suit sprinters, climbers and classics riders simultaneously. Stage 1
The opening stage of the Tour of Oman sees the riders go through a flat stage that will favour the sprinters. It will start in Al Rustaq and end in Muscat, in a day without too many difficulties where the fast men will have the opportunity to shine. There will be a 1Km climb at 5.3% that ends with 8.5 kilometers, and the final kilometer will also have an uphill drag to the line.

- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.
Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
