Andrea Palini (Skydive) continued his great run of success in Africa by making it two in a row in the biggest bike race on the continent, Tropicale Amissa Bongo. The Italian was the fastest in the bunch sprint after a flat ride through Gabon as he again beat Yauheni Hutarovich (Fortuneo-Vital Concept) into second, with Meron Teshome (Stradalli) completing the podium. He also extended his overall lead.
"The final kilometer before the finish seemed to be very long," said Andrea Palini. "It was a complicated sprint for me because I was passed by Hutarovich when he made his effort. I had to make two sprints, the first to get onto his wheel and a second to win. I passed him a few meters from the finish. It was very stressful."
