Biniam Girmay has stated that his NSN Cycling Team is the only squad that can help him win a race, as he approaches the 2026 season with a highly-publicized transfer to the Switzerland-based WorldTour team.
The Eritrean sprinter joined the NSN Cycling Team on a three-year contract, announced on December 1, a team that had emerged from the acquisition and rebrand of Israel-Premier Tech. He had already been linked to the NSN Cycling Team earlier in the year after a complicated merger of his previous team Intermarché-Wanty and Lotto.
“I switched to this team because I want to win everything,” he said at the team launch. “This team is the only one that can help me win a race. The only thing that matters to me is that we’re here to ride bikes and win races.”
Legendary Spanish footballer Andrés Iniesta and global investment platform Stoneweg co-founded NSN. The latter is a Swiss company, and the team will race under a Swiss licence in 2026.
Girmay met Iniesta at the team launch and said he could have a big impact on the sport. “He’s a football legend, and they’re different sports, but it’s incredible that someone so iconic is part of the team. I think it will help cycling move forward.”
