The Belgian Amaury Capiot (Arkea B&B Hotels) won the sprint in the fourth stage of the Tour of Omanreduced to 104 kilometers for safety reasons, after which New Zealander Finn Fisher-Black (UAE Emirates) regained the overall lead.
The Belgian sprinter was finally able to smile after 2023 was forgotten due to injuries and he took victory at the finish line of Yitti Hills ahead of Dutchman Ide Schelling (Astana), Italian Davide de Pretto (Hayco AlUla) and Spaniard Jesús Herrada (Cofidis).
He knows how to survive the orographic difficulties of the route that starts in Fanja and which is shortened by the organization so that the caravan does not run the risk of security problems, and shows his final speed.
Fisher-Black took advantage of the bonuses to return to command in the general classification and seize the lead from American Luke Lamperti, which took the lead on Monday. The difference between the two is three seconds.
The Italian from the UAE Emirates, Diego Ulissi, is behind nine and fifth, fifteen behind, the Spaniard Roger Adriá (Bora-Hansgrohe), who in this fourth stage crossed the finish line in sixth position.
The fifth and final stage will be held on Wednesday between Imty and Jabal Al Akhdhar, a high finish of 5.7 kilometers and an average slope of 10.5% can determine the final winner.
