 At 3000m, the Jabal al Akhdhar are the highest peaks in the Eastern Arabia. The Tour of Oman will climb the first six km to 1235m elevation. photo: bhavanajagat |
Starting from Al Saltiyah in Samail, the peloton will do three-quarters of a loop and finish part way up Jabal al Akhdhar which translates to "Green Mountain." At 3000m, it's the highest peak in Eastern Arabia and the riders will climb a new road up to the finish at 1235m. "You can't do all of the Green Mountain in February, because it's 18km long but we'll do the finish after six kilometres and I think that's enough," Eddy Merckx said. "It's at ten percent average and there are parts at 17 or 18%, so it'll be very tough." Steve
