Muscat — Belgium’s Ben Hermans celebrated "the most beautiful" first big win of his career in the Tour of Oman on Sunday. Alexander Kristoff took the final day honours in a sprint on the final sixth stage. The BMC rider had topped the overall standings since surprising a group of better-fancied rivals with a late attack to win Wednesday’s second stage. He followed that up with Saturday’s penultimate mountain stage to set up the win. After the former world champion Philippe Gilbert’s move to Quick Step Hermans has capitalised on what he says is his "newfound responsibility and freedom" at BMC. AFP
