Tour of Oman 2025: Rick Pluimers Wins the Muscat Classic
Dutch professional cyclist Rick Pluimers won the one-day Muscat Classic in Oman, giving Tudor Pro Cycling its third victory of the early 2025 season.
Jenthe Biermans came second in the sprint, while Henok Mulubrhan came third, and Diego Ulissi came fourth.
The Muscat Classic was added to the calendar when the Tour of Oman was reduced to five stages. A one-day race win awards 125 OCI points to the winner, which is 20 more points awarded for a stage win.
Winning the Muscat Classic was important for the teams fighting for the World Tour's survival.
The first stage of the Tour of Oman will begin on Saturday, Feb. 8.
