Jacob and Antwi led the peloton by almost 2 minutes until the 16th lap, when they succumbed to Anim’s quicker pace and subsequently fell behind. However, at the end of the 17th lap, Henry Tetteh Djanmah, defending champion, whispered instructions to his teammates noticeable Abdul Razak umar and Nuru Paddy Alhassan.

These youngsters lacked the pace and strength to move along with their seniors (Anim’s peloton). The 3 minutes gap between Anim’s bunch and the Yellow Jersey peloton could not be bridged. This allowed Henry and Anim to reduce their 9 minutes defects to 6 minutes, between them and the youngsters who are separated by 2 seconds among themselves. At the end of the race, Samuel Anim was too strong to be swallowed by Mohammed Aminu (National Cycling Team Captain); he placed second, whilst Henry Tetteh Djanmah came in third. Isaac Sackey survived a late attack from Prosper Agbo and Moro Egala to hold on to the Yellow Jersey ahead of the Queen’s Stage (most difficult stage). 50 meters to the end of the race, Moro and Prosper attempted an attack to get out of the Yellow Jersey peloton, but Isaac was up to the challenge, he quickly increased his pace when the attack started. This enabled him arrive together at the finish line the same time with his nearest rivals (Moro Egala, Prosper Agbo ,Frank Awuku Akuffo and Dickson Poku). “It was very close, but the road decided for me today”, said Isaac with a smile. Isaac keeps the Yellow Jersey whilst Prosper, Moro, Dickson and Frank live to fight another day.
