Three years ago I told the original team members that it would be a dream come true of mine that each one of them had houses of their own.

This weekend we took a trip to the Rwandan outback countryside and visited Nathan, one of our original 5 Team Rwanda team members and his brother Nicodem who arrived on the team the following year.

I could not believe my eyes when I first saw what Nathan had been building with all the money he has saved over the last three years of racing on Team Rwanda. Not just a house but a BIG house.. a place where he can have a family, a yard, electricity and water… wow what a feat!

At any given pro bike race, there are hundreds of hard-life stories that line up at the start every day. The story of Adrien Niyonshuti (MTN-Energade), however, is unusual among them.

Coming from Rwanda, where six of his brothers were killed in the 1994 genocide, Niyonshuti got a pro contract for this year after winning the 2008 Tour of Rwanda.

Now Niyonshuti is about to start his first pro European event at the Tour of Ireland.
