Tour du Faso
The Tour du Faso is a 10-day road bicycle racing stage race held in Burkina Faso in the late fall. Since 2005, the race has been part of the UCI Africa Tour. The race covered 811 miles in 2006 and is televised on the Versus cable channel.
The race was first held in 1987.
The race is operated by the Amaury Sport Organisation, the same organization that operates the Tour de France.
From 1987 to 1998 it was reserved to amateurs; since 2005, it is organized as a 2.2 event on the UCI Africa Tour. In 2014, the Tour was cancelled because of the Ebola outbreak.Winners
