Kagimu made best decision in Paris, says ex-international Matovu

David Matovu, Uganda’s former international cyclist could not ask for more of Charles Kagimu, who finished 77th in the Road Race at the Paris 2024 Olympics on August 3.

Matovu was the poster boy of cycling in the mid-2000s and despite missing the Olympics, he knows what it means to compete against a field of professionals on one’s biggest international stage.

Belgian Remco Evenepoel won the grueling 273km race in 6:19:34 hours and the next 31 minutes separated him from Kagimu, who was the last to cross the tape, in a race 13 riders did not finish.
