Rick Pluimers gave Tudor Pro Cycling their third victory of the 2025 early-season, winning the Muscat Classic one-day race in Oman with a perfectly-timed sprint finish.
Australians Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Chris Harper (Jayco AlUla) got away on the late, steep Al Jissah climb but were caught in sight of the line by a 30-rider chase group.
Pluimers followed the wheels on the rising finish and then kicked in sight of the line to secure his first professional win.
Jenthe Biermans (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) was second in the sprint, with Henok Mulubrhan and Diego Ulissi third and fourth as XDS-Astana raced to score as many UCI ranking points as possible.
Tudor Pro Cycling are hoping to secure wild card invitations to the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and other major races and have shown their credentials with three victories even before team leader Julian Alaphilippe makes his debut in their black and red colours.
Their other key rider Marc Hirschi won the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana and Florian Stork also took his first pro win at the races of the Mallorca Challenge.
More to come…
