Biniam Girmay, the rider from Eritrea, racing with Intermarche, once again makes history by winning the spring classic, Gent-Wevelgem. Words cannot begin to articulate the joy and elation we all feel. So, we will let the photos and video express our complete pride and satisfaction. We know that over a decade of work in African Cycling is beginning to show the world what we’ve understood all along. African cyclists have talent and this talent will change families, the sport, and their countries.

The African Continental Championships

Just hours before Biniam’s legendary win, Henok Mulubrhan won the African Continental Championships Elite Men’s Road Race in Egypt. He held off teams from South Africa and Algeria and took the win in the sprint finish.
