Peter Sagan (CAN) opened his account of victories for the 2013 season with a sensational performance on Stage 2 of Tour of Oman. Sagan who won 16 races last year was followed in second place by another emerging talent Tony Gallopin (RLT). Martin Elmiger (IAM) continues to show his good form in the Middle East. The Swiss rider secured third place on Stage 2 after battling it out with Vincenzo Nibali (AST).

After today’s result, Sagan takes over the red leader’s jersey. Tomorrow’s stage from Nakhal Fort to Wadi Dayqah Dam was won by him last year.
