Double helping of history from Biniam Girmay at the Tour de France. The Eritrean achieved a close victory in the final sprint of the eighth stage of the race, where he won by a whisker against Belgian Jasper Philipsen.
A day where the great favorites for the final victory (Pogacar, Evenepoel, Vingegaard and Roglic) have ‘let themselves be carried’ by the peloton, while their teammates protect their backs and try to take them to the finish line in one piece; what they have achieved.
Therefore, there were some variations in the general classification, with the first 26 positions in the race remaining unchanged. If that’s the case Girmay has more established himself at the top of the regularity classification and that the Norwegian Jonas Abrahamsen He did the same on the mountain; while Remco Evenepoel maintains a distance of 1’43” in the youth classification with respect to Juan Ayuso.
A classification that could change significantly after over 30 kilometers of dirt in tomorrow’s stage.
