2020 Tour du Rwanda

The 2020 Tour du Rwanda was a road cycling stage race that took place in Rwanda between 23 February and 1 March 2020. The race was rated as a 2.1 event as part of the 2020 UCI Africa Tour, and was the 23rd edition of the Tour du Rwanda.[1][2]

Natnael Tesfatsion, riding for the Eritrean national team, won the race by almost a minute ahead of Rwandan rider Moise Mugisha of the Skol Adrien Cycling Academy. Swiss rider Patrick Schelling of Israel Start-Up Nation originally finished third, but it was revealed in September 2020 that he had tested positive for use of terbutaline, an unauthorized asthma drug, on stage 2 on 24 February. As a result of the 'non-intentional anti-doping rule violation,' Schelling was stripped of his results from this race and was handed a four-month suspension that retroactively began on 18 May 2020. Due to Schelling's suspension, South African rider Kent Main of ProTouch was elevated to third place.[3]
