It wasn't like anyone expected Biniam Girmay (Intermache-Wanty) to light up the final stage of this Tour. But he has lit up all of the cycling communnity! Girmay is the first Eritrea to win a stage in the Tour, and obviously the first Black African to do so. He went on to win two more stages and in so doing won the Maillot Vert, again a first for Africa and the Tour. He was very active in the intermediate sprints to make sure that his jersey was his today in Nice.
