Stage 9 - November 24: Fada N'Gourma - Tenkodogo, 125 km

Sawadogo wins it for Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso scored their first home victory in this year's edition of the race, when Mahamadi Sawadogo (Burkina Faso B) captured the ninth stage. The 125 kilometre leg from Fado N'Gourma to Tenkodogo saw Sawadogo pull off a surprising solo breakaway, that had him a minute clear of the bunch at the intermediate sprint at 55 km. He extended this to two minutes by the finish, for a very popular win.

In the overall classification, Dimitri Pavi Degli Innocenti (Aguardiente Nectar) still holds the advantage over his Ukrainian teammate, Mikhailov Khailov.
