Biniam Girmay "super happy" after finishing 4th on return to racing at the Brussels Cycling Classic

Racing for the first time since going down as part of the horrific crash at the Tour of Flanders, Biniam Girmay impressed, finishing 4th at the Brussels Cycling Classic.
"I'm super happy with my first race in two months, especially about the team performance," the 23-year-old Eritrean revealed post-race. "We controlled from the start, I attacked & then sprint to 4th place. Today was a good day."
The race was eventually won by the French sprinter Arnaud Demare as Girmay who opened up the sprint faded slightly in the final metres, perhaps due to his lack of racing over the last month.
Next up for Girmay is a trip to Switzerland as the Intermarché-Circus-Wanty star prepares for the Tour de France with tune-up races at Grosser Preis des Kantons Aargau and the Tour de Suisse.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
