Sawadogo takes Burkina's first stage win
Burkina Faso's first stage win in their national tour has come courtesy of Hamidou G. Sawadogo, who won the sixth stage from Bobo Dioulasso to Banfora. Sawadogo finished 3 seconds ahead of Frenchman Franck Sartori (Isère) in the sprint, with the peloton led by Lionel Syne (Marco Polo) coming in at 16 seconds. The race lead did not change and Abdelati Saadoune remains the GC leader.
68 riders took the start of the sixth stage from Bobo Dioulasso, with a relatively short 86.5 kilometres ahead of them before the finish in Banfora. Last year's tour winner Joost Legtenberg (Marco Polo) made the first attack in the opening kilometres, and he was joined by Sawadogo and Belem (Burkina B), Ed Daiyf (Morocco), Bouba (Cameroon), Milesi and Sartori (Isère), Choji (Nigeria), Vermeulen (Panorimo 23 La Creuse).
The group quickly gained ground, opening a maximum lead of 3'15 by Niama (km 58). However the peloton started to chase hard and the lead was lost as quickly as it was gained. With 15 km to go, it was down to 1'30, prompting Sawadogo, Sartori and Choji to attack the breakaway. The trio rapidly became a duo as Choji was dropped, and Sawadogo and Sartori raced to the finish with the pack closely on their heels.
In the sprint, Sawadogo was clearly stronger than Sartori and beat him by 50 metres, much to the delight of the crowd. Third place went to Lionel Syne, who took the points jersey back from the race leader Saadoune.
