Usually, mixed championships make some geographic sense, but this just seems like the MGUCI collected the leftovers for the final NC of the year. We have Bolivia and Brazil from South America, Ivory Coast and Kenya from Africa and Mongolia from Asia. Campero versus Ramos Ticona will be an unpredictable race for Bolivia, Manarelli and Santos will be a close battle for Brazil, while Ivory Coast, Kenya and Mongolia seem penciled in for Cisse, Kemboi and Altanzul respectively.
Sanogo, Delgerbayar, Hussein and an unknown Brazilian amateur want to avoid the expected bunch sprint. Attacking with three kilometer to go surely puts the trains to work early.
They are caught under the flag but Delgerbayar launches the sprint nonetheless. Kemboi found a fan to lead him out, with Manarelli, Batmunkh and Cisse benefiting as well.
Delgerbayar holds on quite well and actually starts celebrating with 100 meters to go, though the quartet Cisse, Manarelli, Altanzul and Kemboi is approaching fast. Altanzul can rob his teammate of the title!
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT! It's a five-way on the finish line. If this was one race it would be the greatest thing ever, but three of the five win the title regardless of where they precisely end up. Carlos Alexandre Manarelli is Brazilian champion, Issiaka Cisse is the champion of Côte d'Ivoire, and Salem Kemboi is Kenyan champion. The Mongolians Altanzul and Delgerbayar have to await the decision of the jury.
Bolivia misses out on a historic finish, but here is Basilio Ramos Ticona on the left beating Campero on the right.
The jury has decided, the winner of the Mongolian championship is also the overall winner, and it's Sonomtseren Delgerbayar! Cisse second, Manarelli third, Altanzul fourth and Kemboi fifth for those participating in the prize question.

With an exiting road race, the time trial can only disappoint, but that's ok.
The race for Ivory Coast produces the same winner as the road race: Issiaka Cisse.
Murilo Affonso is the fastest of the Brazilians, two minutes faster than next-best Gaspar.
Mongolia is the closest of the five championships, with Altanzul, Delgerbayar and Erdenebat within 42 seconds. Delgerbayar and Erdenebat are even within 14 seconds, and it's the former who takes another close fought win! Sonomtseren Delgerbayar is the best cyclist in Mongolia!
The Bolivians were extras in the road race but both take a top ten here. It is Basilio Ramos Ticona taking the double and setting the fastest time so far.
But he is beaten to the combined victory by eight seconds. It's a nice one for the statistics, but perhaps more impressing is Mujtaba Hussein rolling up his direct competition by five minutes!
