Biniam Girmay linked with move to Israel-Premier Tech as Lotto-Intermarché merger talks drag on

Intermarche - Wanty team's Eritrean rider Biniam Girmay crosses the finish line nursing injuries after a mass crash in the final metres of the 17th stage of the 112th edition of the Tour de France cycling race, 160.4 km between Bollene and Valence, southern France, on July 23, 2025.

Biniam Girmay has been tipped to join Israel-Premier Tech from as early as 2026, according to reports.

French newspaper Le Soir revealed that the Israeli team has offered the 2024 Tour de France green jersey winner a three-year contract. However, depending on the finer details of Intermarché-Wanty's reported merger with fellow Belgian squad Lotto, which Cyclingnews understands will go ahead, Girmay may not switch teams until the 2027 season.
