From the orange squad they highlight that the route of this Tour of Oman presents “three stages for sprinters, two more leg-breaking days” and a decisive stage, the fifth, ending in the Green Mountainan ascent of 5.7 kilometers at 10.5%.

“We brought a balanced group to a high-level race with a varied route.

Peio will be a good asset for breakaways”, highlights the sports director of Euskaltel, Jorge Azanza.
