Biniam Girmay returns to scene of most famous victory as Intermarché - Wanty announce lineup for 2024 Giro d'Italia

Two years on from when Biniam Girmay made history as the first black African to win a Grand Tour stage, the Eritrean will return to the Giro d'Italia in 2024 as leader of the Intermarché - Wanty team.
Taking stage 10 of the 2022 Giro d'Italia ahead of Mathieu van der Poel no less, Girmay captured the attention of a continent with his historic stage win. Now famously, the then-22-year-old celebrated a little too hard on the podium afterwards, injuring himself as he took a champagne cork to the eye and actually being forced to leave the race as a result.
Although he won't be hoping to replicate those scenes, another stage win isn't completely out of the question for Girmay. With the likes of Dion Smith, Adrien Petit, Madis Mihkels, Dries De Pooter and Roel van Sintmaartensdijk in support of Girmay, plus the climbing duo of Lilian Calmejane and Kevin Colleoni for likely breakaway raids, Girmay isn't the team's only hope of victory.
Intermarché - Wanty for 2024 Giro d'Italia:
Biniam Girmay
Lilian Calmejane
Madis Mihkels
Dries De Pooter
Roel van Sintmaartensdijk

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
