Tjøtta 3rd on Eastern Mountain – and 3rd on GC!💥
Stage 3 of Tour of Oman delivered the first real GC test, finishing on the 3.4 km climb at 8% to Eastern Mountain after 191.3 km.
Jonas Hem Hvideberg (on his birthday 🎉) was part of the day’s break, which stayed clear deep into the stage.
A crash with around 6 km to go shaped the run-in, but the team came through it well and delivered Martin Tjøtta into the final climb in perfect position.
Tjøtta finishes 3rd on the stage, just 3 seconds down.
A very strong ride on the first summit finish moves him up to 3rd overall – 9 seconds off the lead. The decisive GC stage comes on Stage 5 up Green Mountain.

New years camp coming to and end. Rode the bike a lot, wife took some photos📸. Had some cookies and cake and gelato🍪🍨. Napped because coach is savage😴🪫. Went for a swim, didn't drown🤝.
Unfortunately a crash in Scheldeprijs today resulted in 2 fractures to my face, aswell as a concussion and several abrasions. I am very thankfull for the help from the local health care workers and @unoxteam providing me with excellent care.
I'll have to be cheering on my team mates from the couch for the next period as my fractures and wounds heal, but already looking forward to working my way back!👊
Thanks for all the well wishes🙌
A weekend at home🫶🐕🦺🍰
But back to racing again tomorrow @bruggedepanne 👊
And yes, my wife is using both my @fusion_sportswear clothes and @sweetprotection helmet and glasses. That should say it all😉 #topquality
