Biniam Girmay makes season debut at Tour Down Under, leading Intermarché - Wanty
CyclingMonday, 08 January 2024 at 23:30
The 2024 season is about to begin. The Tour Down Under can already be felt within all of the cycling world, and a few riders have already made the trip over to Australia. Intermarché - Wanty are certain to have some spotlight, as their star rider Biniam Girmay will be present.
Girmay will be one of the race's headliners, aiming for stage wins in the sprints and hilly days that will be featured. He will be the leader of the Belgian team in this sense, having Madis Mihkels and Dion Smith present as a decently strong leadout on the days that suit him the most.
Georg Zimmermann could be in the fight for the overall classification, but even if not, he will be a dangerous stage hunter in the hilly days. Lilian Calmejane and Simone Petilli will also prioritize the tougher days of the race, whilst Tom Paquot completes the lineup in support of the leaders.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
