| ROBERT Frederique stage 1 winner |
He beat Europcar's Yohann Gene and Andrea Palini of Lampre-Merida to the line. Massimo Graziato (Lampre) and Adrien Petit (Cofidis) completed the top five.
The eighth edition of Africa's only 2.1 rated race by the UCI sees nine African national teams join UCI ProTeams Lampre-Merida and Lotto-Belisol plus Europcar, Cofidis, Groupement Sportif Oil and MTN-Qhubeka in the seven-day race.
An early seven-man break built up an advantage of over two minutes before Ilboundo (Burkina Faso) and Ekobena (Gabon) escaped from that group, only to be caught.
With 20km remaining it was Azzedine Lagab (Groupement Sportif Oil) out in front but it was Robert who claimed his first professional victory.
