Jhonatan Restrepo (Team Polti Kometa) won stage 3 at Tour du Rwanda as part of a reduced group that sprinted for the line in Rusizi. Restrepo beat Joseph Blackmore (Israel-Premier Tech Academy) and Pepijn Reinderink (Soudal-QuickStep Devo Team).

“The team did an exceptional job allowing me to stay calm in the peloton until the crucial phases, in the finale I received tremendous assistance from German Gomez to close down the Belgian in front of us and sprint at my best. I want to thank Polti, Kometa, Aurum, and all the sponsors; we are not satisfied, and we want to win again," Restrepo said.
