RE: "Areruya wins La Tropicale Amissa Bongo 2018 race” (The New Times, January 22).

Many congratulations to you Joseph Areruya, the entire Team Rwanda, and Rwanda Cycling Federation for the splendid performance at La Tropicale Amissa Bongo 2018 race. You did Rwanda proud!

Given our terrain, cycling is a sport we can develop further (like running is a preserve of Kenyans) and in the process promote the image of our country. Rwanda can emerge as cycling touristic destination if we stay the course. Prof. Manasseh Nshuti
