B&B Hotelsi meeskond alustab täna Rwanda velotuuri Total Direct Energie klubilt laenatud ratastega, sest nende sõiduvahenditest jõudsid Aafrikasse vaid kaks. Loodetavasti saabuvad rattad kohale väikese hilinemisega.
Algselt veebruaris toimuma pidanud, kuid koroonapandeemia tõttu edasi nihutatud Rwanda velotuur koosneb kaheksast valdavalt mägisest etapist. Tuur algab pealinnas Kigalis ja ka lõppeb samas kohas. Mitmete Aafrika riikide koondiste kõrval on stardis ka mitmed klubid, kellest nimekamad on B&B Hotels, Total Direct Energie ja Israel Start-Up Nation, kelle ridades võistleb Norman Vahtra.
Rwandasse reisis ka Israel Start-Up Nationi juht Sylvan Adams, kes esitleb seal naiste rattasporti edendavat projekti. "Loodame, et varsti sõidab meie klubis ka esimene Aafrika rattur. Rwandas on palju talente ja ootan huviga, kui mõni neist meie meeskonda jõuab," lausus Adams.
Igatahes on huvi ratturite vastu Rwandas suur ja mitmed profid on sotsiaalmeedias postitanud lahedaid videoid.

Séduit par le Rwanda, sa population, sa ferveur. Malheureusement, seuls deux vélos de @BBHOTELSpbKTM sont arrivés, les autres voyagent encore.
