Scaroni and XDS-Astana dominate final Oman stage
XDS-Astana is off to its now-customary fast start to a season. The team fended off an almost-certain relegation in 2025 with a strategy of targeting smaller races and while its WorldTour license is assured through 2028, it's wasting little time racking up points.
Climber Christian Scaroni scored the stage win and overall at the 2.Pro Tour of Oman with a solo victory atop Jabal al Akhdar (Green Mountain), finishing three seconds clear of teammate Cristian Rodriguez. They also went 1-2 in the overall. It's already the team's fourth victory of 2026, with Scaroni on a tear taking three of those.
