Areruya is the big favourite. Ndayisenga will need to make use of his domestiques to have a chance.
Not the smartest tactics from Bralirwa as they have three riders out in front and still attack in the remaining peloton when the riders enter the final climb.
With 5 km to go Areruya is the lone leader of the race.
Ndayisenga started a late chase, but with under a km to go he’s still more than 30 seconds behind.
And so Areruya takes the win.
Congratulations to Areruya who was clearly the strongest today!

[NC] Time Trial
There is a rather open field of favourites today.
Samuel Mugisha is the first contender, he sets a time of 1h20’36.
He must have had a terrible day as the veteran Hadi is more than 3 minutes faster!
Nsengimana is 20’’ behind the lead.
Uwizeyimana takes the lead with a time of 1h16’55.
Uhiriwe is the last man on the road. He actually nearly overtook the former leader and wins by a landslide.
