The 2022 Tour du Rwanda was a road cycling stage race that took place from 20 and 27 February 2022 in Rwanda. The race was rated as a category 2.1 event on the 2022 UCI Africa Tour calendar, and was the 25th edition of the Tour du Rwanda. [1] [2]

After the 2021 edition was postponed to early May due to the COVID-19 pandemic, [3] [4] the race returned to its usual late-February timeslot. [2]

Teams

One of the 18 UCI WorldTeams, five UCI ProTeams, nine UCI Continental teams, and four national teams make up the 19 teams that participated in the race.

Route

The complete route of the 2022 Tour du Rwanda was revealed on 30 November 2021. The mountainous eight-day stage race covered 937.1 kilometres (582.3 mi) and over 15,428 metres (50,617 ft) of elevation, with 31 categorized climbs and four summit finishes. Like in previous editions, the Rwandan capital, Kigali, featured heavily in the race, being a start and/or finish location on all but one of the eight stages. While the Mur de Kigali time trial, which had featured as stage 7 of the past two editions, was not a part of the route, the cobbled hill was still climbed four times during the race. Instead, the race began with a short time trial for the first time since 2017. [2]
