Kristoff celebrates for UAE Team Emirates for the first time

You have to get used to it: Elia Viviani now wears the blue of Team Quick-Sep Floors, Marcel Kittel the red of Katusha-Alpecin and alexander kristoff has been driving for the UAE Team Emirates since this season. While Marcel Kittel is still waiting for his first win for his new team and Elia Viviani is clinching one victory after the other, Alexander Kristoff was finally able to celebrate today.

Kristoff wins the final stage of the Tour of Oman for the third time

At the Tour of Oman, the Norwegian left the Frenchman on the sixth and final stage Bryan coquard (Vital Concept) – Winner of the first stage - and James Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo) behind. With that cheers alexander kristoff for the third time in a row on the last day of the tour, because in 2016 and 2017 he was also the fastest on the final stage. Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) only finished in 40th place because he was unable to get into the bunch sprint properly due to poor positioning. So there were different winners on all six stages.
