Al Jabal Al Akhdar: Adam Yates won the Tour of Oman 2025 for a second successive year as Valentin Paret-Peintre claimed the final and decisive stage on the steep slopes of the Green Mountain (Al Jabal Al Akhdar).
The fifth and final stage (139 km) of Tour of Oman 2025 kicked off from Imti in the Wilayat of Izki, Governorate of A’Dakhiliyah till the slopes of Al Jabal Al Akhdar.
The final stage was held under the auspices of HH Sayyid Azzan bin Qais Al Said, Deputy Chairman of Oman Olympic Committee. Yates and Paret-Peintre dropped race leader David Gaudu with two kilometres to go as the gradient touched 10%.
The Frenchman dug deep to get back on their wheel, but then Yates accelerated again inside the final kilometre and Gaudu was unable to stay with them.
Paret-Peintre was Yates’ match, though and then surged away after the final curve to win the stage. Yates finished a few bike lengths behind, but knew he had done enough to win overall. Gaudu finished 45 seconds down.
The final stage included a valley road loop, but was all about the mountain finish on the slopes of Jabal Al Akhdar – Green Mountain, which ends with six kilometres of climbing at an average of 9.9%. After some early attacks, a 17-rider move eventually went clear, that included 2023 Green Mountain winner Mauri Vansevenant, his teammate Pepijn Reinderink and other riders keen for a day of adventure and hard racing.
Yates pulled on the final red leader’s jersey, finishing the Tour of Oman six seconds ahead of Paret-Peintre, with Gaudu slipping to third place overall at 39 seconds.
