El alemán Marcel Kittel (Proyect 1t4i) ganó este jueves la tercera etapa de la Vuelta a Omán en un sprint en el que superó a su compatriota André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) y al francés Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ-Bigmat) en la meta situada en la ciudad de Bank Mascate y después de 144 kilómetros de recorrido.

El británico Mark Cavendish (Sky), doble ganador de etapa en la Vuelta a Qatar la semana pasada y campeón del mundo, no ha podido estrenarse en esta competencia y terminó en octavo lugar de la fracción.

Greipel, que se impuso en la primera etapa el pasado martes, recuperó el maillot de líder que había perdido el miércoles en beneficio del eslovaco Peter Sagan.

Este viernes se disputará la cuarta etapa entre Bidbid Nafa y Al Wadi Al Kabir, de 142 kilómetros.
