Intermarché-Circus-Wanty's Biniam Girmay Wins Stage 2 of Tour de Suisse
Biniam Girmay of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty delivered an impressive performance on Stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse. Riding a 173.3km long stage with three Category Three climbs, Girmay exhibited remarkable strength and skill to emerge as the victor. His triumph not only exemplified his cycling prowess but also highlighted the growing success and potential of the Intermarché-Circus-Wanty team.
Girmay found his way to the front of the peloton after the main group of riders spent their day chasing down an early breakaway. Once the leadout trains had done their part, Girmay sprinted against Jumbo-Visma's Wout van Aert to take the win.
Putting down 1,250w average for 18 seconds, Girmay's peak power was 1,440w after the climbing and chasing of the day's stage. As Girmay continues to build fitness after a crash two months ago, this shows his talent and skill to execute against some of the top riders in the world.
