Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) wygrał królewski odcinek wyścigu Tour of Oman z metą na górze Jabal Al Akhdhar. Włoch pokonał Słowaka Petera Velitsa (Omega Pharma – Quick Step).
Za nim kolarze dojechali do finałowego podjazdu pod Jabal Al Akhdhar czyli „Zieloną Górę”, musieli przejechać 158 kilometrów.
Na atak zdecydowali się: Bernard Eisel (Sky Pro Cycling), Martin Kohler (BMC Racing Team), Gregory Henderson (Lotto Belisol Team), Albert Timmer (Project 1t4i), Oscar Gatto (Farnese Vini Selle Italia) oraz William Clarke (Champion System). Mimo wypracowanej kilkominutowej przewagi, szóstka uciekinierów została złapana na około 20 km przed metą przedostatniego etapu wyścigu Tour of Oman.
Przed finałowym podjazdem, który rozpoczynał się 6 km przed kreską w peletonie panowało bardzo wysokie tempo. Zasadnicza grupa stopniowo uszczuplała się, a gdy na przedzie było już zaledwie kilkunastu zawodników, zaatakował Vinenzo Nibali. Włoch nie dał się już doścignąć, a drugi na mecie Peter Velits stracił do niego 10 sekund. Trzeci był Sandy Casar (FDJ-BigMat). Francuz przyjechał 25 sekund po zwycięzcy Vuelta a Espana 2010.
Na szczyt klasyfikacji generalnej trafił Słowak Velits. Drugi jest dzisiejszy triumfator Nibali, który traci do kolarza zza naszej południowej granicy zaledwie 1 sekundę. Trzeci jest Tony Gallopin (RadioShack-Nissan-Trek). Francuz ma 17 s straty do prowadzącego.
