Distance and result

The race started in Tobago's largest city, Scarborough, and after a loop through the southern hinterland of the town led the riders to the north coast of the island. Finally the road went to the south coast and along there back to Scarborough. A total of six mountain ratings were on the program over the 112 kilometers. With a very clear lead of almost three and a half minutes, the Colombian Jaime Ramírez , who was part of a mixed team, won the race from the Americans Olheiser and Bello. The two Germans Jonas Schmeiser and Frederik Dombrowski crossed the finish line in fourth and fifth, also ahead of the first group of pursuers, from which two other compatriots, Andreas Keuser and Daniel Bichlmann, sprinted into the top ten.
