00:00 This is what it feels like to take on the Green Mountain.
00:05 Unbelievable, what a finale to the Tour of Oman.
00:09 You had to get there first.
00:12 So much was at stake. The gap's extraordinarily small.
00:15 There could only be one winner.
00:17 But it felt like everybody deserves something out of this amazing day.
00:22 What a race.
00:24 Don't let them take the ending that you want.
00:29 A modified course, 72km only.
00:36 But with the Green Mountain at the end, it was always going to be hell.
00:39 But you had to be brave to take it on. Four did so.
00:42 Ahts, Lund, Gumstadt and Bad Saikhan.
00:46 But frankly, they were going to be wound in always on the Green Mountain.
00:50 There was too much at stake.
00:51 Title up for grabs, a red jersey in the offing.
00:54 Who would get there? That was the big question.
00:56 Last man standing from the breakaway, Hoop Ahts.
01:00 But behind him, an amazing rack of talent.
01:03 The peloton itself was starting to fracture.
01:05 Alan Yates was on the case.
01:07 Who was he nursing? He was nursing himself.
01:09 That was the big question.
01:11 Trying to protect Finn Fischer Black's leaders jersey.
01:15 But in the end, there were others that were forcing the hand of the Englishman.
01:20 What a battle ensued.
01:22 Jan Hurt went for it. Yates went after him on his wheel.
01:26 Three-quartering him all the way up.
01:29 Slowly but surely, Finn Fischer Black's title was ebbing.
01:32 They wanted to keep it within the team.
01:35 Yates, catching, going, pushing, desiring this title.
01:41 A new race for him.
01:43 A new man on the trophy.
01:45 Boom! 150 minutes to go.
01:48 He said, "This is mine."
01:50 What a star, Alan Yates.
01:52 When it came to this sort of ground, there was nobody going to touch him.
01:55 Bringing it home beautifully.
01:58 One and two on the day would be one and two overall.
02:01 Alan Yates celebrating in style.
02:04 The freshest of anybody.
02:06 Others collapsing around him.
02:09 The red jersey is.
02:11 It's been a nice race.
02:12 Obviously, we had to change some stages because of the rain and the bad weather.
02:15 It's been a little bit different.
02:16 But, no, I've enjoyed myself.
02:18 It's a new place for me and a new race.
02:20 Obviously, it's nice when you win.
02:22 But, for sure, I'll be back here again in the future and try to win again.
02:27 Never did a short race feel so big.
02:30 The little guy coming out on top by 19 seconds.
02:35 What a wonderful podium we had.
02:37 Jan Hertz and Finn Fischer Black in third.
02:40 UAE, of course, winning the team competition.
02:43 It's been an amazing race.
02:46 (whooshing)
02:48 (thunder)
