The African Elite Men's Championship jersey remains on an Eritrean's shoulders. Crossing the uphill finish line in celebration is the experienced Kudus Merhawi, from Burgos Burpellet BH, arriving in a parade with his compatriot Aman Awet, a young product of the UCI development center. The podium is completed by Algerian Abdellah Mimouni Ossama, a proud standard-bearer of a leading nation in Continental teams.

Nevertheless, there's no doubt: Eritrea confirms its leadership at the African level - last year the title was won by Henok Mulubrhan - following a propensity for competitive cycling symbolized primarily by the idol Biniam Girmay.
