PREVIEW | Tour of Oman 2024 stage 5 - Can Adam Yates take overall win atop brutal Green Mountain?
Cycling
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.
Prediction Tour of Oman 2024 stage 5:
*** Adam Yates
** Finn FIsher-Black, Jan Hirt
* Mauri Vansevenant, Fausto Masnada, Louis Meintjes, Jesús Herrada, Cristian Rodríguez, Emanuel Buchmann, Roger Adrià, Ben Zwiehoff, Warren Barguil, Anthon Charmig
Pick: Adam Yates

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
