Since 2010, Nsengimana has been an ever-present figure in Rwandan cycling. It is the first time the former Bike Aid rider will not take part in Tour du Rwanda.

A total of 100 riders from 20 teams were Tuesday, February 13, confirmed for Tour du Rwanda 2024. The peloton includes two former Tour du Rwanda winners: Joseph Areruya (2017) and Merhawi Kudus (2019).
