Tour du Rwanda 2025 culminates on March 2 with a 74km circuit race in Kigali. Fabien Doubey leads the general classification but faces tight competition from Henok Mulubrhan. Bike Aid ranks well as a team, while tensions rise with eliminations and rule violations impacting rider participation.
The Tour du Rwanda 2025 reaches its final stage on March 2, featuring a 74km circuit starting and ending at the Kigali Convention Centre (KCC). This stage is pivotal as it will highlight the course for the UCI Road World Championships scheduled in Kigali from September 21-28. The excitement among Rwandan citizens for the event has been notable, culminating in this decisive race that will determine the overall champion.
Fabien Doubey of TotalEnergies currently leads the general classification with the yellow jersey, closely pursued by Eritrea’s Henok Mulubrhan, who is just six seconds behind. After Stage 6, an intense climb resulted in a stage victory for Nahom Araya, further elevating Eritrea’s competitive performance in the tour. Despite their strengths, the overall lead remains in doubt as multiple riders vie for the top position.
Bike Aid has emerged as a leading team in the race, although they have not yet won a stage or claimed the yellow jersey. Rider Milan Donie stands in third place overall, while Yoel Habteab is recognized as the best young African rider. This stage’s unpredictability intensifies with TotalEnergies’ strong competitors, including Brady Gilmore from Israel-Premier Tech, who has secured two stage victories but is currently placed outside the top ten.
The previous stage saw the elimination of several riders, reducing the field to 64 competitors for the final race. Notably, Rwandan rider Moise Mugisha faced sanctions due to rule violations, impacting his participation. As the race concludes, the tension mounts with each rider aiming for the top, showcasing their resilience and determination.
The culmination of Tour du Rwanda 2025 on March 2 will be decisive, with Fabien Doubey leading by a narrow margin from Henok Mulubrhan. Eritrea’s strong performance adds to the anticipation, while Bike Aid remains a prominent team despite not securing victory. The final stage promises to be intense as the race for the yellow jersey and overall victory unfolds, with 64 cyclists competing for glory.
