Biniam Girmay has abandoned the Giro d'Italia. The Intermarché-Wanty was a victim of two rough crashes in a matter of minutes, and will not reach the finale of stage 4.
It was with 68 and then 62 kilometers to go that Girmay hit the deck. First, he was part of a mass crash that also included important GC riders such as Ben O'Connor and Einer Rubio. The Eritrean needed several minutes to get going once again as he complained with hip pain.
He resumed the race however and was racing down the hill by himself. However there were no mercy from the Italian roads, Girmay crashed once again and this time around the decision was made within the Belgian team for him to end his Giro right away.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
