The Tour du Faso youngest white jersey holder Driss El Alouani has once again demonstrated pure class of endurance in the 116.8km assignment from Ouagadougou to Yako.He came solo to win the race in a grand style.

Majority of the the 59 riders who signed up for stage 8 , developed faults with their bicycles whilst competing in the race and was finding it  difficult to catch up with the peloton comprising mainly of Benin,Russia and the host nation BurkinaFaso.

In the under 23 category Adil El Arbaoui unfortunately had to relinquish his Green Jersey to Anton Popov of Russia recording an average speed of 44.080km/h and a time of 2h 38min 59seconds.

The intermediate sprint jersey went to Mamyr Stash from Russia with  the combativity jersey going to Harouna llboudo.
