Incredibly he is the first Black African to retire from the Tour de France due to shooting himself i the eye with a Champage cork. Remarkable!
Why must his win be noted as the first by a Black African? The best man won on the day, and that should be enough without dragging race in to it. The media is too fond of dreaming up 'first', it cheapens peoples achievements for me. |

I must admit when I read the article I quoted part of, that I thought it was strange that Girmay was referred to as Eritrean Girmay. I thought his Christian name was Biniam. Last edited by E.B; 19 May 2022 at 08:40. |

Well done Jai Hindley! That was a killer move on Stage 20. I wonder if the absence of Ritchie Porte hurt Carapaz?
Anyway - May was a big month in the saddle for me. 900km and 11,500m of climbing. A lot of the km were done in Greece. Great roads, no potholes, patient drivers and fabulous views - recommended. |
