Dimension Data's Edvald Boasson-Hagen has said that the second stage of the Tour Of Oman was a good stage for him and the team.
Boasson-Hagen took the win which puts him in the red leaders jersey and he told his team's press office: "It was a really good stage for us today.
"The team did really well, especially at the end to keep me up at the front.
"They were on the front riding a really good tempo so nobody could attack. Tyler went into the base of the climb and then Nathan did a long turn too. Youcef and Jacques also rode really well to support me.
"The whole team was strong today,
"it was a great effort by all the guys which I was really happy with. It was great to then finish off all the good work with the win."
