Christian holds GC position at Tour of Oman

One stage to go

Mark Christian remains in 18th place in the General Classification at the Tour of Oman, following today's fifth stage.

The Aqua Blue Sport rider came 18th on the stage, one minute fifty-one seconds behind the winner, Astana's Miguel Angel Lopez.

Mark Cavendish was 119th, finishing today's route - which had a major climb up Green Mountain at the end - 18 minutes 22 seconds behind Lopez.

Tomorrow's sixth and final stage should produce a sprint finish, giving Cavendish one more chance to grab a win at this year's running of the tour.
