Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, Tuesday, February 19th 2019 – Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida) sprinted to victory on Tuesday after a hard-fought stage 4 of the Tour of Oman. The Italian champ snatched his first win of the season ahead of Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) and Clément Venturini (AG2R La Mondiale) after the early attackers were caught by a reduced bunch inside the final kilometre – a perfect boost for him ahead of the Classics. Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Pro Team) retains the red jersey on the eve of the Queen stage with the summit finish in Green Mountain on Wednesday.
