The stage to Green Mountain is often decisive in the Tour of Oman. Two Belgian riders are on the attack, Gijs Van Hoecke and Stijn Vandenbergh, but they are reeled in just before climbing Green Mountain. Nibali is the first to attack, but once BMC starts setting the pace for Van Garderen the Italian is dropped. The American can't finish the job since Rafael Valls outpowers him on the top.
