World Communism Team’s second fortnight of Season 54 started off on Welsh roads at  Conwy - Porthmadog, where a Addis Gebreselassie in promising form registered 4th place after a strong display in the race.
Two days after this, hill sprinter Kuumba Rusesabagina was up at Klatrekongen av Tryvann, a race around Oslo decently well suited for the young rider. Following a great team effort to keep him close to the front, Kuumba Rusesabagina crossed the line in 3rd position. Securing the first personal Division 5 official result for the former U23 star. And the third one for World Communism Team. Confirming to the team chairman that the squad is more than ready to be a feature at this level of racing, and to continue growing steadily.
As this race in Oslo was taking place, Kuumba Rusesabagina and the team were getting ready to attend the S53 OCM awards ceremony taking place the next day. The rider having been honoured with a nomination in the Best U23 rider category.
Kuumba Rusesabagina received second place for his trouble, with rival hill sprinter Byung-kwang Namgung of Nuhiu Rules receiving the award ahead of him.
The two riders shook hands for pictures as the Korean received his trophy, the pair being well acquainted, after riding in the same races on a regular basis for a fair amount of time. And competing for positions on the same race profiles in a fierce rivalry.
Getting ready to go back to action, World Communism Team travelled back to the team’s backyard in Africa, to approach Lagos Grand Prix, headed by team veteran Xolani Lamola, as a race without pressure to build up on form and team spirit before returning to racing on more favourable routes.
Returning to more competitive racing, Kuumba Rusesabagina lead a Hill Sprint squad at Spitak - Gyumri, where on the slopes of the Caucasus, the young captain was able to register an encouraging 5th place.
All while another group of riders raced in Bitola - Kavadartsi, again led by team veteran Xolani Lamola, with Asbel Asiago, André Tié Bi, and Farouk Dingi trying to catch the right moves from early on. And with Isa Ilubala also allowed to ride for himself.
The latest results having the team well secured in the upper tier of Division 5, in anticipation for objectives later in the season.
