F1R Cycling Challenge 2017 Tour of Oman

[Shadaza]

It's back, following the collapse of the 2015 season, in which the entire operation was closed for drug smuggling, the famed cycling series is back in action.
We begin with a one off special in the Kingdom of Oman.

There are 6 stages, 4 sprints (of various difficulties) 1 hill stage and 1 mountain stage. Teams may enter 8 riders
There are multiple prizes to be won in tours:
General Classification
Points (or Sprinters) Jersey
Mountain Jersey
and Young Rider (for under 26's)

Here is the template for entry.
