Jean-Bosco Nsengimana claimed the penultimate stage of this year’s Tour of Rwanda today, further solidifying his position as the overall race leader.
The Team Rwanda rider once again showed his dominance in this year’s race, after breezing across the finish more than half a minute over his teammates, Joseph Areruya and Camera Hakuzimana.
Leading up to the finish, Team Rwanda controlled most of today’s stage, until the final kilometer, where Nsengimana was launched by his teammates during the last climb of the day – a cobbled ascent to the heights of the Regional Stadium.
Today’s victory marked Nsengimana’s third stage win in this year’s Tour, since leading from the opening prologue.
The Tour du Rwanda concludes tomorrow, with a final circuit race around the Stadium Amahoro in Kigali.
