Biniam Girmay’s multiple near-misses in the recently completed Tour Down Under show the sprinter is already in better shape than early in 2023, say his Intermarché-Wanty team.
After a crash-marred 2023, the 23-year-old fast-man had a point to prove in 2024 and a strong start was the best way for that to happen. And even if Sam Welsford (Bora-Hansgrohe) proved impossible to beat on the roads of South Australia this January, Girmay was always in the mix.
