In an exhilarating second stage of the Tour of Rwanda 2024, Israeli cyclist Itamar Einhorn secured the yellow jersey following his triumph from Muhanga to Kibeho on Monday, February 19.

Riding for the UCI Pro Team Israel Premier Tech, Einhorn outpaced William Junior Lecerf and Pepijn Reinderink of the Soudal Quick-Step team, along with Javier Serrano Rodriguez from the Polti Kometa team, securing the first place at the finish line in Kibeho. He completed the 129 km track in three hours, 17 minutes, and 31 seconds.

This victory not only highlighted Einhorn as the first Israeli cyclist to win a stage at the Tour of Rwanda but also underscored his status as the reigning national road race champion of Israel for the last two years.

Eritrea’s Merhawi Kudus, the 2019 Tour of Rwanda winner, finished strong in the top 10. The stage ended with all leading times marked at 3h 17min 31s.
