Biniam Girmay has reached a deal with Intermarché-Wanty to terminate his contract, with the Eritrean sprinter widely expected to sign a contract with the NSN Cycling Team, the new organisation and team name of the troubled Israel-Premier Tech squad.
Girmay was under contract with Intermarché-Wanty until 2028, but their complex merger process with the Lotto team has led to a deal for Girmay to terminate his contract early. It is unclear if Girmay paid a fee to break his contract or if the UCI regulations prevailed and deemed him a free agent after the Intermarché-Wanty team management failed to register for 2026.
