From the 19th to the 26th of February the peloton will take on what is perhaps the top African road race of the year, the
Tour du Rwanda. Throughout eight days, the riders will take on an interesting mix of stages in the country that will host the 2025 World Championships, a race that every years gains more and more reputation.
Stage two is also a short and explosive day, with three categorized ascents in the first hour of racing essentially. Most of the day is more gentle in terms of profile, however a small hilltop of 1Km at 7.3% is a trap for those looking for a sprint, before a flat finish in Gisagara.
Stage 2: Kigali - Gisagara, 132.9 kilometers
