Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Two Rwandan riders Djazila Mwamikazi and Kevin Nshutiraguma are in Morocco where they will represent the country at the forthcoming 2024 CAC MTB Africa Championships.<\/p>\n

The mountain bike competition will take place on 4,82 Km circuit in Bouskoura Forest, Casablanca from May 11 \u201312.<\/p>\n

The pair arrived in Casablanca on Monday, May 6, alongside their coach Nathan Byukusenge.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Casablanca test, Byukusenge told Times Sport that his riders are in the right frame of mind and determined to hit the podium at the continental race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are absolutely in good mood and morale is high. We are very fine and we are focused on avoiding overdoing anything, which may lead to injuries but we are learning the routes,\u201d said Byukusenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been doing well in training, and I hope they will be able to reproduce that kind of form in the competition. I am optimistic about our chances to do well because we have prepared very well,\u201d the former Team Rwanda captain added.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Mwamikazi struck gold in the 2023 women\u2019s CAC MTB African Championships in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Ndabaga Cycling team rider most recently won the 2024 Race to Remember that took place in Kigali and some parts of Bugesera in April.<\/p>\n
