Velits' winning margin over runner-up Vincenzo Nibali ({{ct|LIQ|2012}}) – winner of the race's queen stage to Jabal al Akhdar – was just one second,[2] after Nibali tried to gain bonus seconds at one of the final day's intermediate sprints but could not gain time.[1] The final place on the podium went to {{ct|RNT|2012}}'s Tony Gallopin, sixteen seconds behind Nibali and 17 seconds down on Velits.[3] In the race's other classifications, Peter Sagan of {{ct|LIQ|2012}} won the points classification on the final stage,[3] Gallopin won the white jersey for the youth classification with his third place overall in the general classification,[3] {{ct|BMC|2012}}'s Klaas Lodewyck won the combative classification for the race's intermediate sprints,[3] and {{ct|RNT|2012|nolink=yes}} finished at the head of the teams classification.[3] TeamsSixteen teams competed in the 2012 Tour of Oman.
