Alexander Kristoff si conferma il più vincente di tutti a Matrah Corniche: per la terza volta in carriera il norvegese campione d'Europa ha vinto infatti la frazione conclusiva del Tour of Oman.

Per firmare la sua prima vittoria con la maglia della UAE, Kristoff ha battuto il francese Coquard (Vital Concept) e il brianzolo Nizzolo (Trek Segafredo).

La tappa è stata caratterizzata dalla fuga a lunga gittata promossa da Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Floors), Maxime Farazijn (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Xandro Meurisse (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Pim Ligthart (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) e Fabricio Ferrari (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA. L'ultimo ad arredendersi all'inseguimento portato avanti in particolare dalla Trek Segafredo e dalla UAE. è stato il francese Cavagna.

La vittoria finale nel Giro dell'Oman è andata al kazako Alexei Lutsenko della Astana.

Queste le dichiarazioni di Kristoff, che in serata volerà negli Emirati Arabi Uniti per partecipare all’Abu Dhabi Tour: “Sono molto felice per aver conquistato la mia prima vittoria con l’UAE Team Emirates. Sento una grande fiducia da parte del team e ho sempre avuto grandi compagni al mio fianco in queste prime gare stagionali.
Questo arrivo mi piace molto, avevo vinto qui già nel 2016 e nel 2017, sapevo quindi che quella di oggi sarebbe potuta essere un’ottima occasione per trovare il successo. La riunione tecnica di questa mattina, con i direttori sportivi e i compagni, è stata molto accurata e abbiamo studiato ogni mossa per il finale, così in gara siamo stati perfetti nell’affrontare gli ultimi chilometri. I miei compagni hanno fatto un grandissimo lavoro, non avrei potuto chiedere di meglio, e da parte mia ho aggiunto la brillantezza delle mie gambe, che mi ha consentito di realizzare una bella volata”.
