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.
Intermarché-Wanty for the 2024 Tour de France:
Biniam Girmay

Louis Meintjes
Gerben Thijssen
Mike Teunissen
Kobe Goossens

- What a douchebag.
santiagobenites22-07-2025 - False, he is included in Tadej calendar (Canadian races and Il Lombardia) but as usual, he will get sick or will get stung by a bee. His motto is "everyone for me, and I for no one".
maria2024202422-07-2025 - I agree. I hope he leaves, so the myth of the galactic talent wasted by an evil team ends (I'm exhausted to hear that... yes, I have a lot of Spanish friends). At only 22 years old, UAE put him as captain in La Vuelta 2023, in Il Giro 2025. I don't understand what else the UAE had to do, declaring war to UCI and proclaming him WINNER? . I hope he goes to another team and shows us how he defeats Pogacar, Jonas, Almeida, Roglic, Evenepoel, and so on. Let's see.maria2024202422-07-2025
- I hope the rumours are true this time. UAE is so ridiculously stacked it would be good if some of that talent gets spread around. Even with Ayuso gone they'll have 14 riders in the top 100 and three in the top 10.mobk22-07-2025
- Idiot photographer. Climb covered with selfish self absorbed idiots wanting to get on TV. NOT even looking at the riders going by. The race organizers should have loud speakers on telling people not to get in the riders way. Or wave flags in their faces, nor throw water on them or set off smoke bombs. The organizers are idiots toocaptmike22-07-2025

- I have always found photographers, cameramen, reporters immediately after the finish line to be very dangerous. Multiple crashes have already happened in the pastabstractengineer22-07-2025
