Andre Greipel (Lotto Belisol) został pierwszym liderem wyścigu Tour of Oman. Niemiec po finiszu z peletonu pokonał Denisa Galimzyanova (Katusha) oraz Tyler`a Farrara (Garmin-Barracuda).
Pierwszy etap wyścigu prowadził z Al Alam Royal Palace do Wadi Al Hoqay. Trasa liczyła 159 km. Profil odcinka był płaski, więc z góry było wiadomo, że dojdzie do finiszu z dużego peletonu.
Mimo wielu akcji zaczepnych, na metę wpadła cała grupa. Najlepszy okazał się Greipel, który nie wystartował w Tour of Qatar z powodu grypy żołądkowej. Dziś powrócił do rywalizacji i w pięknym stylu odniósł czwarte zwycięstwo w sezonie. Drugi finiszował 24-letni Rosjanin Galimzyanov, trzeci był Tyler Farrar. Maciej Bodnar (Liquigas-Cannondale) był 81.
Andre Greipel został oczywiście liderem wyścigu.
