Preview stage 5. 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.
The queen stage is the final day of racing in Oman. A short stage, mostly flat, with all the focus on the Green Mountain summit finish. This is a brutal ascent that is very well known, due to it's exposure to the desert sun, barren landscape and crazy gradients. The climb is 5.8 kilometers at over 10% but notably features gradients quite above that.
