Tour of Rwanda started today also.

Also, this is an excellent read about Rwandan cyclists and their manager:

I saw Tekle in the olympic road race, I thought he was being dropped at one point but he was just coming back through the cars. Here's a photo, he's at the back in the blue and red, black helmet

I know the mag is not to everyones taste, but there was an absolutely superb series of articles by Tom Southam in Rouleur magazine covering the Tour of Rwanda.
