Second win for Syne
Belgian sprinter Lionel Syne (Marco Polo) has brought to an end the run of Burkina Faso stage wins in this tour by taking stage 9 from Laye to Ouahigouya in a bunch sprint. The Californian based rider beat Aitor Galdos and Hamado Pafadnam (Café Baques) at the end of the 152 km stage. The race lead remained unchanged with Abdelati Saadoune (Morocco) still on top.
The only non-starter today was Belgian Christof Marien (Aliplast) who has been Syne's rival in the intermediate sprints. That left 63 riders in the race who set off at a steady pace, under the watchful eye of Tour de France boss Jean-Marie Leblanc, who is present for the final few stages of the race.
Two four man groups attempted to get away, but neither was successful as the peloton was a little more vigilant today. The Moroccan team protected their yellow jersey well, and reduced the bunch to around 30 riders during the course of the stage. With 20 km to go, Folkert De Haan (Marco Polo), Hamidou Sawadogo (Burkina B), Christian Milesi (Isere) and Maxime Mederel (Panorimo La Creuse) attacked and rode out to a one minute lead.
The break wasn't quite good enough to stay away however, and the quartet was caught with half a kilometre to go in the streets of Ouahigouya. That meant that Lionel Syne could exercise his sprinting talents to good effect, and he took the stage in front of Galdos and Pafadnam.
