Cycling: Finn Fisher-Black won the Muscat Classic. The New Zealander won the one-day race in Oman as a soloist and thus duped the sprinters. Previously, the German Emil Herzog presented himself with a strong attack.
Finn Fisher Black wins by 4 seconds
In the end, the second edition of the Muscat Classic was not an affair for the sprinters. Finn Fisher Black (UAE) launched his attack on the last climb and despite united forces in the peloton, he could no longer be caught in the final kilometers. Behind the only 22-year-old sprinted 174,3 kilometers around Muscat Luke Lamperti (Soudal – Quick Step) and Amaury Capiot (Arkéa – B&B Hotels) on the podium. Was allowed for a long time Emil Herzog (Bora – hansgrohe) dream of his first professional victory. The German broke away around 45 kilometers from the finish and was only caught again on the last climb.
