BREAKING: Team #Rwanda’s Moise Mugisha has sprinted his way into the yellow jersey at the ongoing 32nd Tour du Faso after winning Stage 3 this afternoon. Congratulations @mugisha_moise 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/WpBSjowNnv — The New Times (Sports) (@TimesSportRW) October 27, 2019 On top of the stage winner’s jersey and the coveted Yellow for the overall leader, Mugisha was also recognised as the young rider of the day. “It is very gratifying for us to win the stage and at the same time take the yellow jersey,” said Mugisha after riding his way to the top of the general classification. However, he warned that “We still have a long way to go. There are seven more stages ahead, so we must fight for more victories and consistency on the podium if we are to go all the way to the ultimate stage in yellow. Indeed it is going to be a huge challenge.” The 32nd edition of the UCI 2.2 category race continues Monday as the riders battle it out on a 101.8km distance in Stage 4 from Bitou to Koupéla. Team Rwanda, who are under the guidance of Felix Sempoma, are making their first appearance in the annual race since 2006. editor@newtimesrwanda.com
