2010 Tour of Oman
The 2010 Tour of Oman was the first edition of the Tour of Oman cycling stage race. It was rated as a 2.1 event on the UCI Asia Tour, and held from 14 February to 19 February 2010, in Oman. The race was won by Fabian Cancellara of Team Saxo Bank.
Sixteen teams competed. These included ten UCI ProTour teams, five UCI Professional Continental teams, and one Continental team. Each team entered a squad of eight riders, giving the Tour a peloton of 128 riders.
The teams that participated in the race were:
The Frenchman Jimmy Casper outsprinted the peloton.
The first stage was a night time stage along a 16 lap course in Muscat Corniche. This night racing made the first couple of laps cautious because the riders had to race without headlights and did not want to risk an accident.
Daniele Bennati won the stage in a sprint finish. It was his first victory since February 28, 2009. He outsprinted American sprinter Tyler Farrar and Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen to get the victory. He dedicated the race to Franco Ballerini, an Italian cyclist who died February 7, 2010.
In the Tour of Qatar Daniele Bennati helped out his teammate Francesco Chicchi but this race was the reverse. With no one making a move with 300m to go, Bennati jumped and had enough speed to hold off the other sprinters. He credited his teammates Francesco Chicchi and Daniel Oss for giving him a great lead out.[citation needed] This victory put Bennati in a comfortable 3rd position overall with the same time as the leader.
The three riders tied for first were (in order) Hagen, Casper, and Bennati.
