"We will go day by day now and defend the general jersey as long as possible": Jesus Herrada aims to keep his leadership in Oman after winning stage 2 of the race
Cycling
Jesus Herrada won the second stage of Tour of Oman. The Spanish rider of Team Cofidis is a well known finisher for this type of race stage ends and with a powerful attack he proved to be in good shape.
"I feel very good, I am very happy with this victory. We have a team in good shape in this Tour of Oman. Today, the final was good for me and the team did a great job. In the end, I gave everything to get this victory, for me and for the team", he said in the post race interview.
Herrada isn't foreign to the terrains in Tour of Oman since he already rode the race twice always finishing into the top 10. Now he gets the overall lead, and he looks forward to improving his record in this race.
"I knew the course a little bit, I already participated in 2019, so it's a real satisfaction to win here. We have achieved a first objective with a stage win. We will go day by day now and defend the general jersey as long as possible", Herrada stated.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
