Biniam Girmay has thrown down the gauntlet ahead of his first Tour de France, sprinting to victory on stage two of the Tour de Suisse, ahead of Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) and Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma).
The Intermarché-Circus-Wanty rider was mobbed by Eritrean fans at the finish line, having become the first rider from the African country to win a stage of the Tour de Suisse.
