CYCLIST Moise Mugisha on Friday joined his teammates in Bugesera to prepare for the forthcoming 2022 Commonwealth Games slated in Birmingham, United Kingdom from July 28 to August 8.

The 25-year-old missed training sessions with the national team since they started a residential camp in Nyamata a fortnight ago after he was hit in a car accident that later forced him to miss the National Road Cycling Championship a week later.

National team head coach Felix Sempoma summoned youngster Etienne Tuyizere to join the team camp last week as a possible replacement for Mugisha in the roster to Birmingham.

Tuyizere has been training alone in France and was expected to join the team in Birmingham but the coach dropped him from the roster with Mugisha now back to training.

The men’s team traveling to Birmingham comprises five riders including 2022 National Road Championship winner Eric Manizabayo, Samuel Mugisha, Renus Byiza Uhiriwe, Eric Muhoza and Moise Mugisha.

Rwanda will be represented in four sporting disciplines at the Birmingham 2022 namely athletics, Cycling, Swimming and Wheelchair basketball.

The cycling tournament will take place on August 4, a week from the Games’ kick off.
