Biniam Girmay has made history by winning the 3rd stage of the Tour de France. Representing team Intermarché-Wanty, the Eritrean cyclist triumphed after an exhilarating 231-kilometer stage, culminating in a dramatic sprint finale. This victory marks the first Tour de France stage win of his career.
At just 24 years old, Girmay's success is not only a personal milestone but also a historic moment for cycling. He becomes the first rider from Eritrea to secure a stage win at the Tour de France.
Milestone for Intermarché-Wanty and CUBE Bikes
Girmay's success is a landmark achievement for the Belgian team Intermarché-Wanty and CUBE. This stage win is the first for the team at the Tour de France and also the debut victory for us. Following previous stage wins at the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta, this historic success highlights the nine-year partnership. The team has consistently relied on the CUBE Litening C:68X road bike series, contributing significantly to its development.
A thrilling stage with a triumphant finish
Stage 3 spanned a 231-kilometer route from Plaisance to Piermont in Turin. Despite being relatively flat, it was the longest stage of this year’s Tour and tested the riders' endurance. The Intermarché-Wanty team set the stage for the finale, with Laurenz Rex, Mike Teunissen, and Gerben Thijssen leading the charge. Girmay tactically positioned himself within the peloton and unleashed a powerful sprint in the final stretch, crossing the finish line first and securing a unforgettable victory.
