DESCRIPTION:

POSTPONED DUE TO MILITARY CONFLICT IN 2024.

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo is a thrilling race of endurance, speed, and competition woven into the fabric of the African landscape. Named after Omar Bongo's daughter, Gabon's late President, this international professional cycling race in Gabon showcases the region's vibrant culture and scenic landscapes.


Since its inception in 2006, La Tropicale Amissa Bongo has become a beacon for cycling in Africa, attracting teams and riders worldwide. It's not merely a race but a celebration of human willpower and the rich heritage of Gabon.

The race's route, which often changes from year to year, takes riders through dense rainforests, alongside glittering coastal lines, and into bustling cities. With multiple stages spanning a week, the race tests the riders' strength and determination as they battle the challenging terrain and each other.


Each day's stage is a new chapter in a captivating story, filled with twists and turns, triumphs and defeats. The riders must negotiate steep climbs, treacherous descents, and all the unpredictability of the equatorial region's weather.

Local communities along the route embrace the race, coming out in droves to cheer on the cyclists.

For many in Gabon, La Tropicale Amissa Bongo is more than a sporting event; it's a source of pride and a symbol of the nation's growing presence on the international stage.

The competition, although fierce, fosters camaraderie and friendship among riders. Legends are made, dreams are fulfilled, and sometimes, unexpected heroes emerge from the peloton to seize victory.


La Tropicale Amissa Bongo is not only about race but also a tool for social change. The event promotes environmental awareness, encourages tourism, and aids in local development, thus leaving an imprint that lasts well beyond the finish line.

Each edition of La Tropicale Amissa Bongo weaves a new tale. Still, the essence remains the same: a story of the human spirit, of a nation's joy, and of a race that has come to symbolize hope, determination, and the celebration of life in Gabon.
