Mugisha won the eighth stage of the 2022 edition and thus became the first Rwandan rider to win a stage in Tour du Rwanda since Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) made the race a 2.1 event back in 2019.

He returns to the race with a different ambition which is to finally win the 2.1 race.

The team, which currently camps at Africa Rising Cycling Center (ARCC), will be aiming to work for Mugisha in an attempt to help him keep the Yellow Jersey at home.
