Tour du Rwanda: Chris Froome goes 'full circle' with first African race in 14 years

Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has said that competing in the ongoing Tour du Rwanda has rekindled memories of his childhood growing up in Nairobi, the city where he discovered cycling.

The hugely successful road cyclist, who has also claimed two Olympic bronze medals competing for Great Britain, was raised in Kenya and South Africa - but this is the first time in 14 years that he has raced on the continent where he was born.

"To be here in Africa racing not only with the locals but with the terrain does feel like I have come full circle, it's a pretty cool feeling," he said.
