Tour of Oman 2018, provisional startlist

Tomorrow the 13 February the Tour of Oman 2018 will break the seal. The middle-eastern race, which lasts until the 18 February, will take place for the 9th time and proves to be one of the most long-running competitions held in this part of the world. Grimpeurs are expected to surge to the fore but there is enough ground in which sprinters could test their condition. Eighteen teams are going to take part to the event, 9 of which are World Teams whereas the remaining are Professional ones. The defending champion Ben Hermans will not partake because of the non-partecipation of his new team, Israel Cycling Academy.
