18th. Tour de Burkina Faso: Stage 11 (Sunday)
Sun, 7 Nov 2004 02:19:58 -0500

A plan for J.Ouedraogo
Although the Burkina riders had prepared a secret plan in order to help Jérémie Ouedraogo (fourth at the 
start in Kombissiri only 2 seconds adrift) climb on the podium, the main goal looked almost "done and dusted". 
Denis Flahaut, who still had the possibilty of claiming both the white and the green jerseys was rapidly 
put under control and had to settle with finishing the Tour with the three stages he had already won, 
but no jersey.

Cuylits still on the attack
Everything was however still possible concerning the final victory in Ouagadougou, which explained the 
fast pace at the start of the stage. And actually to achieve victory one was almost forced to take off 
early. After an unsuccessful attempt with 6 riders that only lasted a few kilometres, Leon Van Strien, 
Jean Ilboudo, Abdoulaye Sessouma and Gunter Cuylits broke away from the peloton. Caught up by Yann Baefcop 
and José Pires, as well as Abdoulaye Thiam, Ahmed Ouedraogo and Marcio Mucanza, the leading group made it 
to the final circuit with a 35 seconds lead and 10 laps to go.


25 seconds at the final bell
Things get harder as the laps go by and after the third passage on the line, only 8 men remain in the leading 
group but the lead on the peloton grows to 1'20 seconds. The decisive move occurs with 5 laps to go. Marcio Mucanza 
and pink jersey Gunter Cuylits decide to take off while their former companions stop their efforts. As the 
final bell goes, 4,5 kilometres from the finish line, the two escapees only have a 25 seconds advantage. It however 
remains good enough to make it clear from the peloton on the line. In the last sprint battle of the event 
between both men, Angolan Mucanza clinches the win. Immediately after, the peloton finishes the race bunched 
which allows Saïdou Rouamba to keep his green jersey and Malick Thiam to bring the white jersey for best young 
rider back to Senegal.
