Oman gears up for its big bike race - the Tour of Oman

The Tour of Oman starts on February 15th. The Gulf state is readying itself for the event titularly organised by Eddy Merckx. A pre-Tour report from Our Man in Oman, Carlton Reid.

"Everybody is very excited," an Oman-based British journalist told me earlier this week. And there's evidence for this excitement all over Muscat, capital city of the Sultanate of Oman. The Tour of Oman will be here in a couple of weeks and already the place is awash with banners and posters celebrating the arrival of the five-day pro race.
