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. 07 Nov - Stage 11 - Kombissiri-Ouagadougou 85.0 km : Place No. Name Nat Team Time 1 141 G.S.MUCANZA Marcio ANG ANG 2h 01' 50" 2 151 CUYLITS Gunter BEL VAM 00' 01" 3 134 FLAHAUT Denis FRA PHA 00' 04" 4 001 ROUAMBA Saïdou BUR ASF 00' 04" 5 076 WALGIEN Jorry NED RTP 00' 04" 6 043 THIAM Malick SEN SEN 00' 04" 7 072 VAN LOON Patrick NED RTP 00' 04" 8 005 KABORE Karim BUR ASF 00' 04" 9 041 KEITA Olivier SEN SEN 00' 04" 10 053 OUEDRAOGO Tidiane BUR SIF 00' 04" 11 155 ROOSEN Stefan BEL VAM 00' 04" 12 056 SANFO Seydou BUR SIF 00' 04" 13 111 LOKOSSUE Kouame COI COI 00' 04" 14 092 AMOUSSOUVI Augustin BEN BEN 00' 04" 15 032 DUVIGNEAU Michel FRA YVE 00' 04" 16 135 LELIEVRE Michel FRA PHA 00' 04" 17 156 VAN MECHELEN Joris BEL VAM 00' 04" 18 051 OUEDRAOGO R.Jérémie BUR SIF 00' 04" 19 034 GOULARD Youenn FRA YVE 00' 04" 20 143 Z.DANIEL Léonardo ANG ANG 00' 04" 21 011 BAGAYOKO Adama MLI MAL 00' 04" 22 105 DAVID Thierry FRA MIX 00' 04" 23 113 NADOGUEU Filbert COI COI 00' 04" 24 102 FUKUHARA Dai JPN MIX 00' 04" 25 122 DOSSOUVI Kowouvi TOG TOG 00' 04" Final Overall after Stage Eleven : Place No. Name Nat Team Time 1 052 SAWADOGO A.Wahab BUR SIF 28h 57' 18" 2 105 DAVID Thierry FRA MIX 01' 31" 3 135 LELIEVRE Michel FRA PHA 01' 56" 4 051 OUEDRAOGO R.Jérémie BUR SIF 01' 57" 5 104 CHEVALIER Pierre FRA MIX 02' 00" 6 132 DEBRABANT Fabrice FRA PHA 02' 57" 7 154 PATTYN Karel BEL VAM 06' 28" 8 151 CUYLITS Gunter BEL VAM 06' 41" 9 001 ROUAMBA Saïdou BUR ASF 07' 12" 10 043 THIAM Malick SEN SEN 07' 21" 11 134 FLAHAUT Denis FRA PHA 07' 37" 12 032 DUVIGNEAU Michel FRA YVE 11' 25" 13 141 G.S.MUCANZA Marcio ANG ANG 14' 01" 14 053 OUEDRAOGO Tidiane BUR SIF 14' 43" 15 054 SAWADOGO Mahamadi BUR SIF 14' 53" 16 156 VAN MECHELEN Joris BEL VAM 15' 57" 17 076 WALGIEN Jorry NED RTP 16' 48" 18 041 KEITA Olivier SEN SEN 17' 18" 19 004 ZONGO Lucien BUR ASF 18' 15" 20 143 Z.DANIEL Léonardo ANG ANG 18' 17" 21 056 SANFO Seydou BUR SIF 19' 07" 22 081 ILBOUDO L.Jean BUR SOF 21' 04" 23 002 ZONGO Laurent BUR ASF 21' 53" 24 106 PERRET Alexandre FRA MIX 25' 59" 25 042 THIAM Abdoulaye SEN SEN 26' 45" Previous Winners : 2003 Maarten Tjallingii NED 2002 Abdelati Saadoune MAR 2001 Joost Legtenberg HOL 2000 Mikhaylo Khalilov UKR 1999 Saïd Mosry Sald EGY 1998 Jacques Castan FRA 1997 Ernest Zongo BFA 1996 Fulst Guido GER 1995 Ernest Zongo BFA 1994 Karim Yameogo BFA 1993 Maurice Sawadogo BFA 1992 Philippe Lepeurien FRA 1991 Saidou Rouamba BFA 1990 Aimé Zongo BFA 1989 Maxime Ouedraogo BFA 1988 Mady Kaboré BFA 1987 Igor Luchinko RUS The Stages : 27 Oct - Stage 1 - Kokologo-Boromo 136.0 km 28 Oct - Stage 2 - Boromo-Hounde (scheduled) 74.0 km Stage 2 - Oasi - Hounde (actually raced) 52.0 km 29 Oct - Stage 3 - Orodara-Sikasso 121.0 km 30 Oct - Stage 4 - Sikasso-Orodara 96.5 km 31 Oct - Stage 5 - Bobo Dioulasso-Bobo Dioulasso 121.0 km 01 Nov - Stage 6 - Pa (Sabou)-Koudougou 156.5 km 02 Nov - Restday 03 Nov - Stage 7 - Ouagadougou-Yako 100.5 km 04 Nov - Stage 8 - Yako-Ouahigouya 74.0 km 05 Nov - Stage 9 - Gourcy-Ziniare 180.0 km 06 Nov - Stage 10 - Linoghin-Pouytenga 96.0 km 07 Nov - Stage 11 - Kombissiri-Ouagadougou 85.0 km (Source: Le Tour)Le Tour Website (Multilingual)
