Greipel gewinnt Oman-Auftakt – Kittel Vierter

André Greipel aus der belgischen Lotto-Belisol-Mannschaft hat den Auftakt der 3. Oman-Rundfahrt gewonnnen.

Der 29-jährige Rostocker zeigte sich nach überstandener Grippe bestens kuriert und konnte sich nach 159 Kilometer vom Al Alam Palace nach Wadi Al Huwqayn im Massensprint vor dem Russen Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha) und dem US-Amerikaner Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Barracuda) durchsetzen. Rang vier belegte der Arnstäter Marcel Kittel (Project 1t4i) vor dem Slowaken Peter Sagan (Liquigas).

Mit seinem vierten Saisonsieg konnte sich der mittlerweile in der Schweiz Greipel zugleich die Führung in der Gesamtwertung der sechstägigen Rundfahrt durch das Sultanat im Osten der Arabischen Halbinsel übernehmen. Die zweite Etappe im Wüstenstaat führt am Mittwoch über 140,5 Kilometern von Sur nach Wadi Dayqah Dam.
