PREVIEW | Tour of Oman 2024 stage 3 - 12% climb a brutal test for Finn Fisher-Black's lead

Preview stage 3. From the 10th to the 14th 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 is a day very similar to the previous one. It will be all about the final ascent, which is suited to the puncheurs. The 169 kilometers are largely flat, and then the ascent to the Eastern Mountain is 4.7 kilometers at 7.7%. However this average hides a dark secret, which is that the final 1.5 kilometers average over 12% and are brutal.
