Natnael Tesfatsion, riding for the Eritrean national team, won the race by almost a minute ahead of Rwandan rider Moise Mugisha of the Skol Adrien Cycling Academy. Swiss rider Patrick Schelling of Israel Start-Up Nation originally finished third, but it was revealed in September 2020 that he had tested positive for use of terbutaline, an unauthorized asthma drug, on stage 2 on 24 February. As a result of the 'non-intentional anti-doping rule violation,' Schelling was stripped of his results from this race and was handed a four-month suspension that retroactively began on 18 May 2020. Due to Schelling's suspension, South African rider Kent Main of ProTouch was elevated to third place.[3]
Sixteen teams were invited to the race, of which one was a UCI WorldTeam, four were UCI ProTeams, eight were UCI Continental teams, and three were national teams. Each team entered five riders into the race for a total of 80 riders, of which 58 finished the race.[4][5]
