Biniam Girmay has dedicated his second ever Tour de France stage win to his mother and father. The Intermarché-Wanty leader was faster than Jasper Philipsen and Arnaud De Lie on an uphill finish in the eighth stage to Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. “I don’t know what to say following my second win. I want to thank the team for everything,” he responded. Bini in an initial response.
“I want to dedicate this victory to my mother and my father. They believed in me and gave me all the support to become a cyclist and a professional. I want to thank my family, I am very proud”, said Girmay followingwards. The ascending finish suited him like a glove. “That is also why I won”, he laughs. “I prefer these kinds of sprints. When it is really flat, the other riders are bigger. They can then pedal more watts, but this is very nice. I was in the perfect wheel and got a good lead out.”
It was a soaking wet day and Girmay noticed that early in the stage. “I didn’t feel super good because of the weather, but then I got through it and felt great. I rode my best sprint,” he reflects. “The run-up to the final went very quickly. I might already feel my legs there, because there was a headwind. Our lead-out started there 1 kilometer from the finish. I felt my legs explode there, but I knew that the rest would do the same. I knew then that it was going to be my day.”
“I also have to thank Cofidis for their lead out,” he jokes. “And then it was a nice fight with Philipsen, and I won. I am proud to win here in the green jersey. That doesn’t happen very often. My first goal was to win a stage, and now to win in the green jersey. I am almost out of dreams. If this continues until Nice, even if I don’t win once more, then I will be very happy.”

For the first time Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic will compete once morest each other in a time trial. How do they compare? CyclingFlash delved into the archives of Cyclingflash.com to compare their previous performance.
Pogacar and Vingegaard faced each other nine times in a time trial, with Pogacar being the best five times. Pogacar also has a statistical advantage once morest his compatriot Roglic with 4-2. However, once morest Evenepoel, Pogacar has a harder time: he ‘lost’ all five encounters, three of which at the World Time Trial Championships.
Evenepoel vs Vingegaard
Evenepoel and Vingegaard have competed once morest each other six times in a time trial, with Vingegaard never being able to beat the world champion. Roglic, on the other hand, is a match for Evenepoel. Both riders have competed once morest each other eleven times in a time trial. After Evenepoel’s victory in the Dauphiné time trial a few weeks ago, he now leads the Olympic champion 6-5.
A final important confrontation is between former teammates Vingegaard and Roglic. In mutual duels, Roglic clocked a faster time in eight of the ten time trials than Vingegaard. On paper, Vingegaard seems the weakest time trialist, although of the five time trials he rode in the Tour, he did three times better than Roglic and Pogacar.
