Java-Inovotec coach Joseph Areruya has said that his team is ready to fight for top prizes at Tour du Rwanda 2025.

The 17th edition of the competition is set to run from February 23 to March 2, 2025.

The 16-team contest will feature a total distance of 812 kilometres over eight stages.

"We have been training hard on the roads that the race will use. The boys are very ready for the race. The target is to challenge for the podium positions, but the experience we will earn is even more valuable,” Areruya said.
