Tesfatsion is a two-time winner of the Tour du Rwanda. This year he has not only won close to home, but has also won a stage at Adriatica Ionica Race and finished second in the overall classification. He has also finished second at the Giro dell'Appennino, andhas finished the Top10 of several other one-day and stage-races.
