Tour of Oman will go on
Eddy Merckx has tried to allay fears about the future of the Tour of Oman following the demise of the Tour of Qatar at the end of last month.
“The Tour of Oman will be ridden. No doubt about it,” he said, according to HLN.be.

Merckx was the organiser of both races in Qatar and Oman, with help from Tour de France organiser ASO. In December, the UCI confirmed that the Tour of Qatar would not take place in 2017 due to a lack of sponsorship, despite only recently being promoted to WorldTour level.
It’s cancellation provoked speculation that the Tour of Oman would go the same way, especially as it appeared to be hanging in the balance ahead of last year’s edition.
