Muscat, Friday, February 9th 2024
Finn Fisher-Black (UAE Team Emirates) showed how far his budding talent can lead him with a thrilling solo victory in the second edition of the Muscat Classic. The Kiwi youngster dropped everyone with a strong attack on the final bumps of the day, with 5 kilometres to go. A small group gave everything to get back in the final run-in to the finish in Al Bustan… But there was no containing the New-Zealander, powering to sweet victory after he already showed his strong legs in the AlUla Tour (3rd overall). Another rising talent, Luke Lamperti (Soudal Quick-Step), was the fastest from a very reduced bunch to take 2nd ahead of Belgium’s Amaury Capiot (Arkéa-B&B Hotels). The show goes on in the Sultanate, with the Tour of Oman kicking-off on Saturday.
