Diego-Ambilobe route along the west coast and Vohemar-Sambava along the east coast by bike

Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has done this route recently or has reliable info.
Does the track exist, and most importantly, is there sand (for biking)?
Any info is welcome.
Cheers,

hi, as for my RN6, no problem—the road was just redone, and on the Vohemar-Sambava side and even Antalaha, it’s good, much better than many of Madagascar’s national roads
if you want to take dirt tracks, though, I don’t know about those

thanks jipi, anyway I’ll have to take the RN6 for a good while, so if it’s in good condition that’s great. For the rest, before I dive into a nightmare like in the Narinda Bay, I’m waiting for some opinions.
Have a good day
