Ok, so we're not going to create a race thread for ALL races this year, especially since we're only about 10 people reading here :)

This thread is available for you to write about all the races which don't have a race thread.

Muscat Classic (Oman, 6/2/2026)

During 150 km, the camera bike followed a guy in red lost on a motorway across the desert – Veistroffer (🇫🇷 Lotto-Intermarché).

Astana tested the peloton in the first of the last two climbs, about 20 km from the line, and caught Veistroffer.

In the last climb, Double🇬🇧 launched the first attack for Jayco, followed by two guys including the almost local UAEan UAE rider Jasim Al-Ali🇦🇪 who completely blew up after a while.

Then the decisive attack saw A. Yates🇬🇧 (UAE), Plapp🇦🇺 and Schmidt🇨🇭 (both Jayco) drop everyone. Yates🇬🇧 lead the climb, and Plapp🇦🇺 the descent. Plapp🇦🇺 almost killed the breakaway when arriving on the short flat section, but Yates🇬🇧 told him he was alone against 2 Jaycos, so one of them should better pull 😀 Schmidt🇨🇭 won the sprint against Yates.

Scaroni🇮🇹 (Astana) preceded the peloton by a few yards.

First French rider came just after the top-10. First rider from a French team 15^th...
