CyclingSaturday, 07 February 2026 at 12:05
Victory number 7 of the year for UAE Team Emirates - XRG has been achieved this morning at the Tour of Oman, as Juan Sebastián Molano sprinted to victory at the end of the opening stage of the race.
The stage began with a difficult climb, used by Alex Díaz, José Luis Faura and Patryk Goszczurny to form the day's breakaway. It was a day without a big story, as the wind was not present and the peloton comfortably controlled the front trio, reeling them in eventually with 22 kilometers to go.
The leadout battle towards the Bimmah Sink Hole began with a few kilometers to go, without a single technical feature as an obstacle to the riders. The sprint was then chaotic, because all teams were fresh towards the end, and there were plenty leadouts in the mix, not allowing any specific rider to have a perfect run-in to the finish.
All the sprinters had to go head to head against each other, and in this battle it was Juan Sebastián Molano who sprinted to victory, beating Fernando Gaviria who looked to have the speed but not the space against the barriers, and Gerben Thijssen.

- Who knows, all we can say is whatever he’s decided it’s worked pretty well. Would it not be for a certain TP, he’d have one of the best GT palmares ever (even leaving Sepp his Vuelta to avoid hypotheticals).Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- I cannot understand what he is bitching about.It sounds like he is pissed off that he can't find a way to be relevant in races.We live in a time when a few riders dominate.The sport has evolved that way through training and nutritional advances and some are more adaptive than others.Whats new?
Brucegel07-02-2026 - We maybe but riders in the peleton remember stuff lime this better and will think twice about letting him tag along again.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- Maybe not this year but at some point, he won’t be able to resist like Jonas can, it’s in his nature to try.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- This is true, we are lucky to be living this age and witnessing so many talents.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- Yes, hence why so many contemplate “accidents” to murder someone. Luckily, insurance companies are quite good at noticing suspicious links between victims and perpetrators when it comes to avoiding pay-outs. In this day and age of constant filming of everything, it’s inacceptable you still cannot use footage of this kind of incident to legally pursue someone, for sure that would calm a large proportion of people who obviously feel untouchable in their protected bubble.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- I guess we’ll just have to live with athletes willing to be paid by dubious nation states, betting, UPC (ultra processed crap), big petro,:pharma, betting and maybe one day data, coz very little else that isn’t banned has large enough margins to cover the ever growing salaries and costs.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
- Most interesting in this is that rival teams are so casual about discussing/comparing/revealing stuff. Bet this doesn’t happen in F1. Training wise, every type of training helps and riders/teams would be silly to focus on just one which will bring anyone to 80% of their potential. Unfortunately, though another 10-15% will be achieved with a teams’ training set-up, that last 5% will always be rider specific according to what they are most lacking and works best for them, also mentally. In any case, the type of training that will help your background level most is the type you’re not doing much or for the discipline you’re least good at. You won’t get great individual from everyone with a rigid group method, if you want to simplify your work by sticking to that, you have to select only riders who react best to the same methods.Mistermaumau07-02-2026
