Itamar Einhorn (Israel-Premier Tech) secured another win at the Tour du Rwanda, this time on stage 7 into Kayonza. Einhorn was part of a breakaway and was the fastest to the finish line, beating runner-up Lorenz van de Wynkele (Lotto Dstny Development), while Gal Glivar (UAE Team Emirates Gen Z) finished two seconds back in third place.

“The plan was not to be in the breakaway; it was to control the race, and we did it. We closed a lot of attacks,"  Einhorn said.

“In the end, the attack that went, I just sat on them, trying to bring them back, as you say. But they didn’t want to come back, so I just sat on them, and we arrived at the front. From there, we worked almost 100 kilometres, I think, in the front.”

The previous day's stage winner, Joseph Blackmore (Israel-Premier Tech), maintained his overall race lead and will start Sunday's final day of racing with an 11-second lead over Ilkhan Dostiyev (Astana Qazaqstan Development) and 13 seconds over Jhonatan Restrepo (Team Polti Kometa).
