Tour de France Stage 12: Eritrean cyclist Biniam Girmay after Tour de Suisse win, features in Tour de France

Posted : 14 July 2023
Biniam Girmay, the Eritrean cyclist, showcased his sprinting prowess by winning the second stage of the Tour de Suisse. Amidst the microphones and expensive bikes, Girmay stood out as one of only six black African riders in the predominantly white World Tour peloton.

However, it is his exceptional talent that truly sets him apart. Last year, he made history by becoming the first black African to win a one-day cobbled classic and a stage in the Giro d'Italia, the second-largest Grand Tour race in cycling.
 
Girmay's style of racing is electrifying, resembling that of renowned sprinter Mark Cavendish. He excels on flat or mildly hilly stages, bringing excitement to the sport.

As Girmay prepares for the third stage of the Tour de Suisse, a crucial warm-up race for the Tour de France, he hopes to make further history by becoming the first black African to win a stage in cycling's most prestigious race.

The significance of such an achievement is not lost on him, and he expresses his enthusiasm for the possibility.
 
Reflecting on his recent victory at the Tour de Suisse, Girmay experienced an outpouring of support from Eritreans. As he crossed the finish line, they surrounded him, adorning him with their national flag, chanting his name, and even providing him with an umbrella.

The camaraderie and support from his fellow Eritreans reinforce the significance of his accomplishments and the pride they feel for his success.
