The 2018 Tour of Oman has released the names of all confirmed riders for the February 13-18 race, with 2016 champion Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) due to ride alongside a host of sprinters likely to be targeting stage wins, including Team Dimension Data's Mark Cavendish.
The Tour of Oman 2018 route will consist of two flat out sprint days, three hilly routes and a final climber's stage which is highly likely to decide the overall victory.
