Brady Gilmore is on a roll and has put his signature on the third stage of the Tour du Rwanda, the Musanze - Gisenyi (Rubavu) of 121.3 km. Sprint in reduced ranks with the sumptuous double by the twenty-three-year-old Australian from Israel Premier Tech.

Under a scorching sun, Gilmore preceded the Eritreans Habteab, second, and Mulubrhan third. The French rider Doubey still holds the leadership jersey.

THE RACE. The third stage of the Tour du Rwanda comes to life just after km 0. Four riders break away, and Didier Munyaneza (Rwanda), already combative on Monday, cannot be missed, along with his compatriots Samuel Niyonkur (Team Amani) and Etienne Tuyizere (Java - Inovotec Pro Team), plus the Ethiopian Filon Zerabruk Debay.

Their advantage approaches 6 minutes, but the stage's pattern is clear. The quartet passes first over the finish line, where a lap to be repeated twice begins, centered on the 5 km at 6 percent of the Rambo Climb. The yellow jersey group completely reduces the gap, while avoiding adjectives for the crowd at the finish line, as in every meter of the stage, is not easy. We'll try.

When passing again along the shores of the beautiful Lake Kivu, which has made headlines for what happened on the Congolese side (Goma is just 10 km from the finish line), the teams of potential day protagonists are at work, as well as the most prominent men in the general classification. Gilmore's stroke of brilliance puts everyone in agreement. Chapeau.
