Amaury Capiot (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels) claimed an emotional victory at the Tour of Oman after a year hampered by injury.

The Belgian sprinter survived the late rolling climbs that were packed into the shortened 104 km stage from Fanja to Yitti Hills and hit the rising finish line just ahead of Ide Schelling (Astana Qazaqstan) and Davide De Pretto (Jayco AlUla).
