From the 8th to 12th of February the peloton takes on another stage-race in the Middle East, the classic Tour of Oman. A race that provides days for the climbers and sprinters above all, it's always a race that attracts big riders early in the year due to the good weather away from Europe. We preview stage 3.
Stage 3 is almost completely flat but with a summit finish at Eastern Mountain. It's a climb hard enough for the pure climbers to make the difference, but potentially short enough that some puncheurs can still hold on. The ascent is 4.7 kilometers at 7.6%, it will be a very explosive finale.
Prediction Tour of Oman 2025 stage 3:
*** Adam Yates, David Gaudu, Valentin Paret-Peintre
** Chris Harper, Ruben Guerreiro, Mauri Vansevenant
* Jay Vine, Diego Ulissi, Anthon Charmig, Wout Poels, Valentin Madouas, Cian Uijtdebroeks, Warren Barguil, Steff Cras, Felix Engelhardt
Pick: Valentin Paret-Peintre
