Whilst teams frequently reveal new temporary equipments at the Grand Tours with the prospect of further increasing their sponsor exposure, so do bike manufacturers. Cube has painted Biniam Girmay's bike for the World Championships with special colours.
Following a very successful season, Eritrea will be able to take six riders to the Elite men's Road Race, and have taken a full delegation to Australia. Biniam Girmay has been the main source of points for the nation, and he has had a special paint scheme provided by Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux's bike provider Cube for the race, painted in red, green and blue besides the regular black at the bottom of the bike.
Girmay will be one of the contenders for the race, having shown his climbing abilities throughout the year. Having won Gent-Wevelgem he has shown to have the endurance, and throughout the year he's proved to have the sprint to contest with the best aswell.

- Hmmm, the guy seems a little stuck with progress and at 28 it’s a bit strange to reflect and go back 3 years to find his best result. Is he ready to retire?Mistermaumau09-11-2024
- Funny isn’t it, I’d say by and large it’s the same in athletics but why is that? Better class of fans? I always wonder about « segregation » regarding litter too, can you predict what kind of person will cast rubbish in nature by their choices in food and drink? It’s obvious what kind of things are predominant and which are rare so I’d say there is pretty good correlation there too.Mistermaumau09-11-2024
- belgian press to van der poel: “yah, we all got together and decided that YOU are already the BEST! awesome, right? sooooo… umm… not that that’s settled, there’s really just no reason you need to bother yourself with silly things like breaking erik de vlaeminck’s record. it’s really, i mean, just kind of a waste of your valuable time, right? you should be out having FUN, not slopping around in the freezing mud… grabbing official records… toppling belgian heroes… … … Please?”OCexile08-11-2024
- Froome is less than 2 millions now since his team is no more in WT. All sources for Roglic say it is between 4 and 4.5 millions, not 5.5. Evenepoel is now 5 millions, so more than these two. Poor researches here.Acapulco08-11-2024
- wow, you’re like a REALLY angry little fella, aren’t you? these discussions are supposed to be FUN, brother. if you find them this upsetting you should MAYYYYBE go for a walk, or get some tropical fish to look at or something. beyond my concern for your emotional well being, i gotta say i don’t understand a few things you tried to say. your point about van der poel at liege? i don’t get it. and exactly who are the “you people” who are persecuting you over pogacar’s walk-over at the giro. anyway, good luck with everything.OCexile08-11-2024
- Lefevere is such a clown.Sweep08-11-2024
- You're spewing nonsense. MVDP was at Liege too. Jonas did his best ever numbers in the Tour, as did Evenepoel. In the worlds, MVDP wasn't the only one chasing and a large part of the route was flat. Oh, did you forget that Pogi soloed 80 ks? What about the 80ks at Strade Bianche? The training ride at the Lombardia? And man, I can't stand how dismissive you people are of his Giro dominance. "There wasn't anyone around to challenge him" yeah well whenever a cyclist wins it's because there was no one else around who would be good enough. I'm sick of this imaginary opponents argument. Who was supposed to be there to challenge him anyways? Do you think Roglic or Evenepoel could do anything? Or Vingegaard, who always trains to peak for the Tour?Ayrton08-11-2024
- What a great ride that day, and what a great young rider. I am really looking forward to what he'll do next, and his attitude about racing is great. Let's hope he keeps that.RidesHills08-11-2024
- everyone should TRY to remember that just a year ago it was pascal the couldn’t remotely hang with vingegaard at the tour. the explanation for that was that pog had injured his wrist and that had interfered with his preparation. compare what a damaged wrist would do to your prep vs. what happened to vingegaard. i think a 100% healthy pogacar vs. a 100% healthy vingegaard at the tour is just about even money. hopefully that’s what we’ll get.OCexile08-11-2024
- i still believe that a thoroughly healthy jonas is at least a match for pogačar. i think some of tadej’s new aura of crushing invincibility comes from a year when everything lined up for him just right. to be clear, i’m NOT saying he’s not the most gifted rider on the planet! he IS! but… liége is made for him; there was NOBODY at the giro to challenge; jonas, for all his spirit, was broken and a shell of his true self at the tour. the Worlds course was a perfect fit for this year for pog, where slimmed down but still MUCH bigger van der poel still kept the gap under a minute in a course that REALLY didn’t suit HIM. my point is that i actually don’t think tadej suddenly launched himself to a level of ability far, far above where he’d been before. he’s a great rider that had an historically great year, but i don’t believe he’s become something NEW, and UNBEATABLE. if he’s fully healthy, i really expect jonas to be as much of a handful for pog as pog is for him.OCexile08-11-2024
