Tour of Oman

In the midst of my exams I failed to notice a road bicycle race that has descended upon the shores of the Sultanate for the first time this year! The Tour of Oman is a part of the UCI Asia Tour, is classified as a 2.1 and is run by the Amaury Sport Organisation. Held between the 14th and 19th of February, the race consisted of six stages, mainly flat ones with some hillier parts. Some chap called Fabian Cancellara won the first event. Not bad Oman, first this and next the Asian Beach Games later this year. For a country almost unheard of in many parts of the world not too long ago, you are slowly but surely making your presence felt on the global stage. Yalla Oman, keep it up!
