Bimmah Sink Hole, Saturday 7th February 2026 – The opening stage of the Tour of Oman unfolded according to expectations, with a largely flat profile, apart from a short climb that triggered the formation of a Spanish-Polish breakaway trio, which was caught with 22 kilometres to go. A bunch sprint then took shape within the peloton on a seaside road where the fastest riders prepared for the finale. In the final hectometres, UAE Emirates XRG sprinter Juan-Sebastian Molano, led out by Rui Oliveira, proved the most powerful. The two-time Vuelta stage winner (2022–23) narrowly beat his compatriot Fernando Gaviria, now riding for Caja Rural-Seguros RGA. The 19-year-old Polish rider Patryk Goszczurny (Visma | Lease a Bike) claimed the gold jersey for combativity thanks to the points he collected during his breakaway, as well as the white jersey.

Yitti Hills, Sunday 8th February 2026 – There are two ways to win in the always unpredictable finale of the Yiti Hills stage. Either by standing out among the peloton’s best puncheurs, as Diego Ulissi did in 2023, or by banking on a successful breakaway, like Louis Vervaeke in 2025, and now Baptiste Veistroffer, the author of a heroic solo ride in the finale of the longest stage of the Tour of Oman (191.4 km). The Lotto–Intermarché rider had already shown his ambition by spending 151 kilometers alone at the front during the Muscat Classic. This time, it was from a five-man breakaway, later reduced to a trio, that the young Frenchman executed a plan he had carefully prepared. The former triathlete dropped his last two companions, Patryk Goszczurny and Tim Marsman, on the penultimate steep ramp of the day to claim his first professional victory solo and take the red leader’s jersey of the Tour of Oman. In the general classification, he leads Henok Mulubrhan and Thibaud Gruel, who contested the peloton sprint on the finish line and are respectively 25 and 27 seconds behind in the overall standings.

Misfit Al Abriyeen (Eastern Mountain), Monday 9th February 2026 – The third stage of the Tour of Oman was marked by numerous early attacks, largely initiated by red jersey Baptiste Veistroffer, who once again found himself in the breakaway as part of a seven-rider group. This move was eventually neutralised by the peloton, with the top climbers battling it out on the final 3.8-kilometre ascent on the slopes of Eastern Mountain in Misfat Al Abriyeen. At the end of the climb — approached in less-than-ideal conditions by Valentin Paret-Peintre and Adam Yates after crashes at 8 km and 6 km from the finish respectively — it was Mauro Schmid who claimed the stage victory and took over the lead of the general classification. The Swiss champion, who had already made his mark last Friday by winning the Muscat Classic, is now stepping up to a new level and positioning himself as a credible contender for overall victory.

Sohar, Tuesday 10th February 2026 – A bunch sprint finish was the expected scenario at the end of the coastal route that concluded in Sohar. The day’s breakaway allowed Patryk Goszczurny to further solidify his gold jersey in the combativity classification, but not to dream of winning Stage 4. The two attackers of the day, caught with 3 km to go, made way for a hard-fought showdown won by Erlend Blikra (Uno-X Mobility). The Norwegian sprinter, who had finished fourth on the opening stage, this time managed to beat all his rivals on the line. He finished ahead of very young French sprinter Emmanuel Houcou, 22, who came close to a major upset, and Juan Sebastian Molano, the winner at Bimmah Sink Hole three days ago. The sprinters’ battle did not affect the overall classification leaders. Mauro Schmid will start tomorrow’s final stage in the red jersey, but to keep it he will have to withstand the assault of the pure climbers on the way to the finish at Green Mountain.

Jabal Al Akhdar (Green Mountain), Wenesday 11th February 2026 – The final stage of the Tour of Oman delivered a climbers’ showdown on the slopes of Green Mountain, where the week’s main favorite, Adam Yates, ultimately failed to turn the situation to his advantage, despite having won the previous two editions. The UAE Emirates XRG leader, who started the day 32 seconds behind red jersey Mauro Schmid, managed to close the gap on the Swiss rider, but not on Italy’s Christian Scaroni, who produced a flawless climb, showing both patience and strength. Alongside his Spanish teammate Cristian Rodriguez in the final kilometers, Scaroni launched his move in the last 100 meters to claim a prestigious victory atop Green Mountain and simultaneously move into the overall lead. Already a Giro stage winner last year, he now shares this triumph with his Spanish teammate from XDS Astana, who stood alongside him both on the stage podium and in the final overall standings. An Astana blue-jersey one-two had previously been achieved at the Tour of Oman by Alexey Lutsenko and Miguel Angel Lopez, marking the Kazakh team’s fourth overall victory in the Sultanate. The 2026 podium is completed by Adam Yates, recorded in the same second as Mauro Schmid (4th) and Paul Double (5th), who were separated by the countback of stage placings accumulated since the start of the race.
