Aldo Taillieu (Lotto Development Team) secured the first leader's jersey of the 2025 Tour du Rwanda after covering the 3.4km prologue course in a winning time of 3:48 in Amahoro Stadium, Kigali on Sunday.

“You can’t pace a 3.4km race, so it’s all-out from the start. It’s great to begin my season this way. I dedicate this win to my late friend and former teammate Miel Dekien,” Taillieu said in a Lotto team press release.
