Intermarché-Wanty at the Tour de France to win stages with Biniam Girmay, Louis Meintjes, Laurenz Rex and more

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
Laurenz Rex
Louis Meintjes
Gerben Thijssen
Mike Teunissen
Kobe Goossens
Hugo Page
Georg Zimmermann

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
