The Colombian Jhonatan Restrepo of the Italian formation Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli, who started in the good breakaway of the day, settled a group of seven riders in a sprint on Tuesday 22 February. At the same time, he seizes the leader’s yellow jersey and dethrones the Frenchman Alexandre Geniez, until then at the head of the general classification since the prologue last Sunday. Jhonatan Restrepo is a regular in the race, winning four stages in 2020 and one last year. On Wednesday, the third stage, 124 kilometers long between Kigali and Gicumbi, in the north of the country, ends with an uphill finish.
