Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) został zwycięzcą 2 etapu Tour of Oman i objął prowadzenie w klasyfikacji generalnej wyścigu.
Słowak nie pozostawił swoim rywalom żadnych szans odjeżdżając im na finiszu. Jako drugi na mecie zameldował się Baden Cooke (GreenEdge), trzeci był Tom Jelte Slagter (Rabobank).
Trasa dzisiejszego etapu, prowadząca z Sur do Wadi Dayqah Dam, liczyła sobie 140,5 km, a ukształtowanie terenu sprzyjało ucieczkom.
Jednej z nich, w składzie: David Boucher (FDJ-BigMat),Diego Caccia (Farnese Vini) oraz Martin Kohler i Klaas Lodewijk (BMC Racing Team), udało się zbudować nawet niemal 4 minutową przewagę nad peletonem. Uciekinierzy zostali jednak dogonieni na 5 km przed metą, gdy silne tempo w peletonie zaczął dyktować zespół Sky.
Ostatni kilometr należał do Petera Sagana, który oderwał się od grupy na podjeździe, nie tracąc przewagi na ostatnich, płaskich 300 metrach.
Słowak objął prowadzenie w klasyfikacji generalnej wyścigu. Drugi, Andre Greipel (Lotto) traci 4 sekundy, a trzeci Baden Cooke (Green Edge) 7 sekund. Jedyny Polak w wyścigu, Maciej Bodnar (Liquigas) zajmuje 69 pozycję.
