Chris Froome on stage six of the 2014 Tour of Oman
Chris Froome (Sky) finished safely in the bunch to seal victory in the 2014 Tour of Oman, while Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) sprinted to win his third stage win ahead of Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ) and Ireland’s Sam Bennett (NetApp-Endura).
Without any serious obstacles on route, Froome and Team Sky were never put under pressure by the men close to him on GC, and comfortably held onto his 26-second lead over Tejay van Garderen (BMC).
