From Dreaming in Eritrea to Starting at the Tour de France: Biniam Girmay’s Incredible Rise

With the 2024 Tour de France drawing ever so near, the road-cycling fandom is
already in the grips of the race’s allure. Since we are focused on deeply personal
experiences, memories, and connections with the Tour this year, Matt Stephens also
made this podcast instalment into a Tour de France special. The guest today is
Biniam Girmay and the topic is the Tour made personal.

Thanks for introducing us to vitamin 'N'. Never give up!!!!! You own that motto now and it's a marketable one. But most importantly, you have demonstrated a great deal of humbleness reflecting your good family upbringing. Keep it up and don't forget to take you vitamin N.
