Thank you for sharing the success of Biniam. Biniam Girmay, an Eritrean professional cyclist, has made history with his victories in Italy and France, becoming a trailblazer for African cyclists in the European racing circuit. In May 2022, Girmay achieved a landmark victory at the Giro d'Italia, winning Stage 10. This victory made him the first Black African cyclist to win a stage in a Grand Tour. His sprint finish in Jesi demonstrated his exceptional talent and competitive spirit, significantly raising his profile in the international cycling community. Continuing his impressive form, Girmay claimed another significant win in France at the 2022 Classic Grand Besançon Doubs. This victory further established him as a rising star in the cycling world, showcasing his ability to compete and win against top-tier international cyclists. Girmay's victories are significant not only for his personal career but also for the broader representation of African athletes in cycling. His success is inspiring a new generation of cyclists from Africa and helping to break down barriers in a sport traditionally dominated by Europeans. Biniam Girmay's achievements in Italy and France mark a new chapter in the sport, highlighting the growing diversity and global reach of professional cycling.

[@LAMF24]

@@zxtsf zxtsf means stupid. How many African cyclists are there? Few. So what chance one wins the Green jersey? What Girmay has done has nothing to do my OP. Maybe you're just another racist Girmay fanboy?
