France's Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto Intermarché) claimed his first victory as a professional on stage 2 of the Tour of Oman, attacking from the early break on the penultimate climb with 10km to go and holding off the bunch all the way to the line.

Veistroffer had been part of the early five-man move that went away at the start of the stage, which became three into the finale, and he then attacked over the top of the Al Hamriyah climb to go solo, never to be caught.
