André Greipel (Lotto Belisol) umocnił swoją przewagę w klasyfikacji generalnej Tour of Oman, wygrywając 4 etap wyścigu. Niemiec był szybszy od Petera Sagana (Liquigas-Cannondale) oraz od Tony`ego Gallopina (RadioShack-Nissan).
Kolejny etap rozgrywanego na Półwyspie Arabskim wyścigu, liczył 142.5 km i prowadził z miejscowości Bidbid (Nafa’a) do Al Wadi Al Kabir. Zaraz po starcie na odjazd zdecydowali się: Stijn Vandenbergh (Omega-Pharma QuickStep) oraz Klaas Lodewijck (BMC). Duet osiągnął nawet 8 minut przewagi. Końcówka etapu była pofałdowana i to właśnie tam prowadzący zawodnicy zostali złapani przez zasadniczą grupę.
Finisz prowadził lekko pod górę, a mocne tempo na rzecz Petera Sagana dyktowała drużyna Liquigas-Cannondale. Pociąg włoskiej ekipy sprytnie wykorzystał Andre Greipel. Niemiec dzięki temu odniósł 5. zwycięstwo w sezonie i razem z Elią Vivianim (Liquigas-Cannondale) prowadzi w rankingu zwycięstw tego sezonu.
W klasyfikacji generalnej, Greipel ma 6 sekund nad Saganem. Trzeci jest rewelacyjny, młodziutki Francuz Nacer Bouhanii (FDJ-BigMat), który dziś finiszował 4. 21-latek do lidera traci 18 sekund. Maciej Bodnar (Liquigas-Cannondale) spadł dziś na 87. miejsce.
