Anyone Else Following the Tour of Rwanda?

https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-of-rwanda-2-2-1

Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg (South Africa) won Wednesday the opening stage of the Tour of Rwanda, Kigali-Kigali, defeating the new African Continental Champion, Daniel Teklehaimanot and the former champion Dan Craven (UCI Continental Center) in a six rider sprint.


This is exciting stuff. The terrain is incredible.

If it was on Universal Sports I'd certainly watch it... but I have a hard time following any sporting event strictly on paper.

Still, sounds like a cool tour!

Is there somewhere to watch it online or a channel in the states that has it? I'm sure the terrain is beautiful, but hard to enjoy through summaries of who won and who lost.

Sporting events strictly on paper? bleh ;c

A friend of mine is in the tour this year, just barely made it too, I'm routing for him.

As far as I know there is no where to watch it, hopefully there will be some coverage on cyclingnews though.

I've read the summaries but am only familiar with a couple names. I'm sure a lot more people would follow it if there were some live coverage.
