Hermans claims first Tour in Oman

Belgium's Ben Hermans on Sunday made the Tour of Oman his first big career win after the closing sixth stage was claimed by Alexander Kristoff. The 30-year-old Hermans had topped the overall standings since surprising a group of fancied rivals with a late attack to win Wednesday's second stage.
The BMC rider followed that up with Saturday's penultimate mountain stage to set up the win which comes after his second place finish in last month's Tour of Valencia.
Kristoff took the final day honours in a sprint from Eduard Grosu of Romania and Italy's Sacha Modolo.
