Charles Kagimu, hailing from Uganda, secured the title of Africa's new time trial champion by defeating Moise Mugisha of Rwanda with a 40-second advantage in the capital of Ghana, Accra.
The Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè rider, Henok Mulubrhan, took third place with a gap of 1 minute and 3 seconds to the winner, Charles Kagimu.
A noteworthy aspect of this event is that Charles Kagimu utilized Luke Rowe's old time trial bike. He was invited to INEOS Grenadiers' training camp and was provided with equipment from the team.
Mauritius' Aurelie Halbwachs emerged as the winner of the women's race, defeating Valentine Nzayisenga of Rwanda by 36 seconds. The bronze medal was earned by Kimberly Le Court de Billot from Mauritius, trailing the winner by 39 seconds.

- They'll be the new target for protests, even if Adams isn't involved. Just being tied to that team is a really bad idea. Its probably going to hurt Canyon too.Veganpotter14-12-2025
- Heβs done cross before. I bet if he dedicated himself to that heβd start cleaning up.mobk14-12-2025
- 1. No, the team owners want to have reliable money without having to actually perform. 2. It's "creative destruction". It's how things improve. Resources and labor are put to more productive uses. 3. That'd be more likely to happen if you listened to these "cycling is unsustainable" whiners. 4. There are thousands of pro races per year. Some teams are happy with a podium. Everything here is a Non Sequitur. -An Economistacem8214-12-2025

- While he is a good rider, he is not in the Pogi, Vingegaard, Lipo and others category yet. Can he be? Time will tell but for now he is in a 2nd Tier. And let's not forget guys like Del Torro who very well could be almost if not as good as Pogi in a year or twomd197513-12-2025
