After winning stage 1 at the Tour of Oman with an uphill sprint in the vacant surroundings of the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, Fernando Gaviria could only finish fourth in the stage 2 sprint on the coast at Suhar Corniche.

The UAE Team Emirates sprinter won from the front on day one, with long-time lead out man Max Richeze putting in a big turn to set-up yet another win for the pairing.
