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 3 will put
Jesús Herrada's lead to the test in a new ascent.
Stage 3 is rather similar, but this time around more guided towards the climbers. It is what is called a "one-effort stage", where the roads are almost entirely flat until the final summit finish. This will be in Jabal Haat, 4.6 kilometers at 8.5% where some meaningful differences can be made in the very steep final ramps.
