Tour of Oman
The Tour of Oman is a stage race held in the Sultanate of Oman and has become a distinctive early season fixture for climbers and GC riders building form for the spring stage races and the Grand Tours. Launched in 2010, the race quickly earned a reputation for selective parcours, defined by punchy ascents and the decisive Green Mountain finish. After a short hiatus following the 2020 edition, the event returned to the calendar and is now part of the UCI ProSeries.
