Astana Qazaqstan Team and Team Polti Kometa embark on 2hr search for place to sleep after stage of Tour du Rwanda

After stage 2 of the 2024 Tour du Rwanda on Monday, both the Astana Qazaqstan Team and the Team Polti Kometa were forced to take on a two hour quest for a place to sleep the night.
According to Het Nieuwsblad, the Four Steps Hotel in Butare, Rwanda was supposed to be the home of the two European teams for the night. But after seeing the place in person, both teams were left feeling way less than pleased and as such had to take on the search for a comfortable place to rest their heads for the night before getting back to racing on Tuesday.
With the hotel given an impressive 4.5 out 5 stars on Tripadvisor, with organisers of the stage-race viewing the attitude of the teams as somewhat disrespectful according to Het Nieuwsblad and each of Soudal – Quick-Step Development, Bingoal-WB Development, Groupama-FDJ and Team TotalEnergies stayed there throughout the night without complaint.
Notably, next year of course, the World Championships are also being held in Rwanda so hopefully there will not be a repeat of any such issues then.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
