Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan cyclists Moi\u0308se Mugisha and Didier Munyaneza are determined to make the best of a new professional experience out of Rwanda after joining French club Pe\u0301dale Pilotine.<\/p>\n

Based in Martinique, a Caribbean island, the club was in the past home to two other Rwandan riders – Joseph Areruya and Jean Claude Uwizeye.<\/p>\n

Mugisha and Munyaneza who joined the club earlier this month will soon be competing for it at the GRANPRI, a cycling race slated between May 10-13.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited to join this club. It is new journey and new ambitions. We are looking forward to doing the best we can,\u201d Munyaneza told Times Sport.<\/p>\n

Munyaneza most recently played for local club Benediction Cycling Club, while Mugisha most recently competed for Team Rwanda and Java-InovoTec. Both riders are 26-years-old.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it will be difficult but we are ready for the new challenge. It is something that came as a blessing to us and we are going to work hard so that we can improve the competitiveness of our new team,\u201d Munyaneza added.<\/p>\n

The arrival of the two Rwandan riders at the French club was a necessity, according to Gustave Joachin Arnaud, its president.<\/p>\n

“Maybe I wouldn’t have brought them in if that hadn’t been the case. Now, I am preparing for the Tour with two good riders, I have the right team. We will also have Martinicians in the team, we will see what that will be like for the races to come,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mugisha is renowned for his mountains climbing prowess, while Munyaneza is a good sprinter.<\/p>\n
