Stage one of the 14th Tour du Faso was a 100 kilometre journey from Bandfora to Bobo. It was won by Italian Dimitri Pavi Degl'Innocenti, who beat teammates Mikhail Khalilov and Csaba Szekeres. In fourth place was a Burkina Faso rider, Hamado Pafadnam, followed by Roel van Schalen of the Dutch team.

There was an interesting start to the tour for the journalists, who could not find a vehicle to join the race caravan. They had to take a bus to the finish in order to find out what happened.
