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.
The final day of racing is only 75 kilometers long and features climbing from start to finish. It features three laps of a short circuit with 3.7Km at 5.8% and 0.5Km at 6.8% climbs in it, the latter is the Mur de Kigali which sees vicious gradients that can bring chaos in the final day of racing, and both ascents are cobbled. The race will then end in Kigali with a 5.2-kilometer ascent which has 6.5% average gradient and cobbles in the middle, an appropriate finale for such a brutal race.

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
