Mugisha is Tour du Rwanda champion
Mugisha becomes the fourth Rwandan to win Tour du Rwanda in five consecutive years since Valens Ndayisenga in 2014.
20-year-old Rwandan rider Samuel Mugisha celebrates on crossing the finish line outside Kigali Stadium in Nyamirambo yesterday to win his first Tour du Rwanda title, becoming the fourth Rwandan to win the annual race in five consecutive years. Mugisha plies his trade with the Italy-based South African UCI Continental Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, but was a Team Rwanda rider in this year’s Tour du Rwanda edition, which he won after covering 953.2km in 24 hours, 26 minutes and 53 seconds. Yesterday marked the last time the UCI Africa Tour race has been staged as a 2.2 category following its upgrade to a 2.1 category. Sam Ngendahimana.
