Next January, the peloton will find exactly the same stage to open Gabon week between Bitam and Ebolowa in Cameroon that the tropical Amissa Bongo has taken to make a regular visit. It was Luis Leon Sanchez who had prevailed that day on these hilly roads that always give rise to great battles between the riders who want to impose their mark on a significant distance at the start of the season, 150 kilometers. The peloton will remain three days traveling the roads of Woleu-Ntem, where the public always responds with its fervor and enthusiasm for cycling, before visiting four other provinces. With first the Middle Ogooué to Ndjolé for the arrival of the 3rd stage and Lambaréné which will offer two starts of stages on the banks of the Ogooué, the longest of the week on the 4th day to Mouila (190). kilometers) capital of Ngounié. On the eve of the last weekend the riders will then land in the Province of the Estuary very close to Libreville the capital, at the arrival of the 5th stage Kango before finding the day before the final finish, the Ogooué Maritime in Port-Gentil. As in 2015, for the 10th anniversary of the Tropicale, this sixth stage will take place exclusively on the streets of the country's economic capital, this time for the 15th anniversary of the event. The riders will stand out as tradition dictates on the last day on the waterfront in Libreville with a start as in 2019 since the flourishing economic zone of Nkok.
