‘A feeling of unfinished business’ – Biniam Girmay set for Giro d’Italia return

Biniam Girmay will return to the Giro d’Italia next month, his Intermarché-Wanty team announced on Saturday. The Eritrean made history at the race two years ago when he became the first rider from sub-Saharan Africa to win a stage at a Grand Tour.

Girmay claimed a fine sprint victory ahead of Mathieu van der Poel in Jesi on stage 10, though he was unable to start the following day after being struck in the eye by a prosecco cork during the podium ceremony.
