Stage 7 - November 6: Ouagadougou - Koupela , 138.5 km

Two from two for Sawadogo

Hamidou Sawadogo (Burkina Faso B) has won his second stage in two days in the Tour du Faso, beating Dutch riders Folkert De Haan and Joost Legtenberg (both Marco Polo) at the finish in Koupela. The race lead stayed with Moroccan Abdelati Saadoune, who has led the Tour du Faso since day 1 and looks to be in an impregnable position.

The seventh stage was run between the Burkina capital Ouagadougou and Koupela, over a distance of 138.5 km. In the opening kilometres, a group of 14 riders attacked but were quickly chased down. A smaller group of six riders tried shortly afterwards, with similar result. The Moroccan team was intent on controlling the race for their leader Saadoune.

At the first two intermediate sprints, Lionel Syne (Marco Polo) beat Christof Marien (Aliplast-Deschacht), strengthening his grip on the pink sprinters' jersey. After the second sprint, Toukour Bouba (Cameroon), Christian Milesi (Isère) and Kossi Nossi (Togo) attacked, and were joined by Legtenberg, Sawadogo, Franck Sartori (Isère) and Maxime Mederel (Panorimo 23 La Creuse). This proved to be an important break, and it cut the peloton in half with 20 riders making it into a front group, including the main GC riders.

In the sprint, Sawadogo won ahead of De Haan and Legtenberg, with Saadoune finishing 10th and holding onto his 1'09 lead over Alexandre Lecoq (Isère). In third place is Burkina's Hamado Pafadnam (Cafe Baques) at 2'40.
