Biniam Girmay of Eritrea blazed a trail of glory at this year's Tour de France, becoming the first black cyclist to win a stage of the gruelling race followed by the green jersey for best sprinter. Now the African hero is taking on his next challenge: the Olympic road cycling at the 2024 Paris Games.
Less than a week since he flew down the beachfront of Nice in cycling's most famous event, Girmay will be pounding his pedals in Paris as he launches his Olympic campaign.
