The Malian team made a strong start at the 37th Tour du Faso. After the first stage held on Friday, October 30, between Ouagadougou and Kaya, four of its cyclists placed among the top 30 in the individual general classification.
Yaya Diallo stands out by securing the best position for Mali, in 11th place, with a time of 3 hours, 31 minutes, and 26 seconds, 2 minutes and 29 seconds behind the winner. His compatriot Fidèle Cissé closely follows in 12th place, with a gap of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Youssoufou Dissa is in 15th place, while Tiémoko Diamouténé finds himself in 30th place.
The two other Malian riders, Siriki Diarra and Tiémoko Diallo, are positioned beyond 47th place on the first official ranking sheet.
With four representatives in the top 30, Mali shows a promising performance right from this first stage. The team will look to maintain this momentum over the coming days of competition.
