The route doesn’t come with any surprises: the fast men will get four opportunities, while the climbers will have the summit finishes of Jebel Jais and Jebel Hafeet. Squeezed in between there’s a 12.1km individual time trial, which remains to be seen what impact it will have on the fight for the general classification.
