The 13th Tour of Oman, scheduled for 10 to 14 February, will serve up a five-course menu catering to all tastes, from sprinters and punchers to climbers. Its two iconic climbs —Eastern Mountain (stage 3) and Green Mountain (stage 5) will be tough nuts to crack at this point in the season.

00:00 This is what it feels like to take on the Green Mountain.
00:05 Unbelievable, what a finale to the Tour of Oman.
00:09 You had to get there first.
00:12 So much was at stake. The gap's extraordinarily small.
00:15 There could only be one winner.
00:17 But it felt like everybody deserves something out of this amazing day.
00:22 What a race.
00:24 Don't let them take the ending that you want.
00:29 A modified course, 72km only.
00:36 But with the Green Mountain at the end, it was always going to be hell.
00:39 But you had to be brave to take it on. Four did so.
00:42 Ahts, Lund, Gumstadt and Bad Saikhan.
00:46 But frankly, they were going to be wound in always on the Green Mountain.
00:50 There was too much at stake.
00:51 Title up for grabs, a red jersey in the offing.
00:54 Who would get there? That was the big question.
00:56 Last man standing from the breakaway, Hoop Ahts.
01:00 But behind him, an amazing rack of talent.
01:03 The peloton itself was starting to fracture.
01:05 Alan Yates was on the case.
01:07 Who was he nursing? He was nursing himself.
01:09 That was the big question.
01:11 Trying to protect Finn Fischer Black's leaders jersey.
01:15 But in the end, there were others that were forcing the hand of the Englishman.
01:20 What a battle ensued.
01:22 Jan Hurt went for it. Yates went after him on his wheel.
01:26 Three-quartering him all the way up.
01:29 Slowly but surely, Finn Fischer Black's title was ebbing.
01:32 They wanted to keep it within the team.
01:35 Yates, catching, going, pushing, desiring this title.
01:41 A new race for him.
01:43 A new man on the trophy.
01:45 Boom! 150 minutes to go.
01:48 He said, "This is mine."
01:50 What a star, Alan Yates.
01:52 When it came to this sort of ground, there was nobody going to touch him.
01:55 Bringing it home beautifully.
01:58 One and two on the day would be one and two overall.
02:01 Alan Yates celebrating in style.
02:04 The freshest of anybody.
02:06 Others collapsing around him.
02:09 The red jersey is.
02:11 It's been a nice race.
02:12 Obviously, we had to change some stages because of the rain and the bad weather.
02:15 It's been a little bit different.
02:16 But, no, I've enjoyed myself.
02:18 It's a new place for me and a new race.
02:20 Obviously, it's nice when you win.
02:22 But, for sure, I'll be back here again in the future and try to win again.
02:27 Never did a short race feel so big.
02:30 The little guy coming out on top by 19 seconds.
02:35 What a wonderful podium we had.
02:37 Jan Hertz and Finn Fischer Black in third.
02:40 UAE, of course, winning the team competition.
02:43 It's been an amazing race.
02:46 (whooshing)
02:48 (thunder)
