The big GC day in Oman. An easy day rolling round the desert, then 18 minutes of pure hell. This is why puncheurs have a good record on the Green Mountain compared to climbers, they do much better than expected. As everyone arrives fresh, and the whole race is easy, riders like Jorgenson can climb just as well as pure climbers. Will Finn Fisher-Black be able to continue this pattern? Yet again, the stage has been shortened, now just 72km.
