The riders of Cameroon, Eritrea and Tunesia will battle it out on a flat course.
From Eritrea we have: Habtom, Kiflay, Kudus and Okbamariam
From Cameroun: Kamzong, Ngock Ngue and Nzeke
From Tunesia: Hasnoui, Chtioui
Nzeke and Hasnoui make the most of the slipstream form the race officals cars to get away early on.
They get into a good collaboration and the gap quickly grows beyond what's realistic for the remaining riders to gain back.
The neutral sevice rider had to step in and keep the gap at 7-8 minutes just to make sure that the remaining riders got to the finish line in time.
Chtioui decides to spice things up with 18 km to go despite having more than 6 minutes to gain in order to win his NC.
For no apparent reason the remaining riders are hell-bent on reeling him back in.
Meanwhile in fron the Tunesian goes solo.
Kudus misses out as the main group cracks in two due to the frantic pace of the chase.
The three other Eritreans form the main chaing group.
While we followed that Nzeke have caught up with Hasnoui again and it's time for the final sprint where they will both win.
Nzeke wins slightly more than Hasnoui.
Okbarariam opens the sprint for the Eritrean NC.
Nevertheless there was never going to be another winner than Habtom in a sprint like this.
Chtioui only needs to the first time-check to remove any exitement about the Tunesian TT-NC as he has already clocked in more than a minute on the competition.
For Eritrea there's just 5 seconds between Kiflay and Kudus while Kamzong was 8 seconds faster than Ngock Ngue for Cameroun.
Despite being passed by Chtioui Kiflay has a 14 second advantage on Kudus at the second intermediate.
Kamzong has 18 seconds on Ngock Ngue.
Kamzing solidifies his lead on the last bit to defend his jersey.
Kiflay loses a little momentum but also defends his jersey in the end.
