Black african

Arnaud De Lie: Richard Carapaz grabbed the first yellow jersey of his career on Stage 3 at the Tour de France, but Monday's finale in Turin was all about Biniam Girmay as the Eritrean created history in the sport's biggest race. Girmay saw off a reduced bunch of sprinters in a messy finale to become the first Black African to win at the Tour, following up from his victory at the Giro d'Italia in 2022.

Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) became the first Black African to win a stage at the Tour de France as he edged a chaotic sprint on Stage 3.

The road opened up gloriously for the Eritrean cyclist in the closing stages as he took victory ahead of Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) and Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny). Girmay, who also won a stage at the Giro d'Italia in 2022, was overcome with emotion in his post-race interview.
