Intermarché-Wanty at the Tour de France to win stages with Biniam Girmay, Louis Meintjes, Laurenz Rex and more
CyclingTuesday, 25 June 2024 at 15:40
Another team has confirmed their 8-man roster for the 2024 Tour de France, with Intermarché-Wanty becoming the latest lineup to be announced.
The team will be led by their biggest name rider, Biniam Girmay. The hero of African cycling made his Tour de France debut in 2023 and although a stage win eluded him, the 24-year-old Eritrean did come third on stage 7 behind Jasper Philipsen and Mark Cavendish in a bunch sprint in Bordeaux. Having made history at the 2022 Giro d'Italia, becoming the first black African to win a Grand Tour stage, Girmay also has proven stage winning capabilities.
With supported and supplemented by the likes of stage winner at the 2019 Tour de France, Mike Teunissen and 26-year-old Belgian sprinter, Gerben Thijssen, the sprint train of the Intermarché - Wanty lineup is certainly something that has a lot of potential.
Another man in the team with proven Grand Tour stage winning legs, is the vastly experienced South African, Louis Meintjes. A Vuelta a Espana stage winner in 2022 and a three time former Tour de France top 10 finisher in the general classification, Meintjes is likely to be the team's main threat from breakaways in the third week, alongside perhaps, the impressive Belgian Laurenz Rex, with Kobe Goossens, Hugo Page and Georg Zimmermann completing the lineup.

- The UCI is terrible and should be abolished. They do everything possible to stop cycling tech from improving, leading to slower bikes being widely sold, leading to fewer people using them as effective transportation, leading to terrible health outcomes and even death from lack of exercise. They're not just incompetent, they're evil.acem8205-07-2025
- Pogačar tried too hard? Arrogant?... the parallel world of Pogi's haters, ahahhaha. Every topic is good for throwing a little shit at Pogacar.
maria2024202405-07-2025 - He was there to win the race. At least he didn’t make up fake reasons like Jonas “need to drop Kuss and win a stage in honour of my third cousin’s ex girlfriend “ Vingegaardmobk05-07-2025
- Sadly it’s more like “when” primoz crashes :(Crashjames05-07-2025
- agreed. since 2021 van der poel has ridden as a domestique for phillipsen, but mathieu has CHOSEN that role because, for whatever reason, he just hasn’t really liked or cared about the Tour (maybe until THIS YEAR, that is). but wouter LOVES winning at the tour and cares deeply about it, and i totally agree he deserves more freedom.OCexile04-07-2025
- i think he meant the latter, that the first 10 are all either bunch sprints or spikey hills for puncheurs, both of which wout can win on. i didn’t read it as a PREDICTION.OCexile04-07-2025
- Roglic? Humorous!? ( now THAT’S funny!) He’s been a neurotic mess since ‘22. And talk about arrogance = the way he undermined Kuss in the Vuelta… shameless!PlanB04-07-2025
- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe's team may seem weak in comparison to UAE or TVL, but that's not to say that they don't have many other good climbers and rouleurs - other options, who have not been selected, include Hindley, Pellizzari, Martínez, Lazkano, Fisher-Black, Van Gils, Alleotti, Adrià, Mullen...
Llywelynglyndwr04-07-2025 - Let's hope not. Dream result for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe: Roglič winning Maillot Jaune, Lipowitz winning Mailliot Blanc, Vlasov winning Maillot à Pòis, Meeus/Van Poppel winning Maillot VertLlywelynglyndwr04-07-2025
- At least Roglič actually succeeds in being humourous - unlike Pogačar, who tries too hard and ends up sounding arrogantLlywelynglyndwr04-07-2025
