February 21 update: The climb part way up of Green Mountain (profile) has become the signature stage finish of this race. We've seen mountains in the background of previous stages and now we'll tackle one of them. Three of the final 4 kms average 13.5% and that's why many climbers have shown up. Vincenzo Nibali won this stage in 2012 and Joaquin Rodriguez won it last year.
Starting from BidBid, 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
