Age does not protect against achievement
Rinaldo Nocentini (Sporting Clube de Portugal) can celebrate again. The Italian already won the third stage. Today he sat down in the two-man sprint Zemenphes Solomon (Eritrea) through. Leader came in four seconds behind Joseph Areruya (Rwanda) to the finish. The overall second Nicodemus Holler (Bike Aid) from Germany finished eighth and lost another three seconds + time credit to the leader. In the overall standings, things are looking good for Joseph Areruya. The 140-kilometer final stage from Bikélé to Libreville takes place tomorrow. Nikodemus Holler will try to catch up on the 18 second deficit. At least the slightly hilly circuit allows attacks ...
