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

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
